Film on Artemisia Gentileschi wins two awards at Terra di Siena Film Festival

The docu-film Artemisia Gentileschi , Pittrice Guerriera, dedicated to the life and career of the painter Artemisia Gentileschi (Rome, 1593 - Naples, post 1653) won two awards at the 24th edition of the Terra di Siena International Film Festival, a major independent film festival founded in 1997 by Maria Pia Corbelli. The film directed by Jordan River won Best Documentary and a Special Mention for young actress Angela Curri, from Bari, born in 1993, who plays Artemisia Gentileschi.

On the stage of the Teatro dei Rinnovati in Siena, where the award ceremony was held last Oct. 3, the director and the actress, who wished to dedicate the award to all women, went up to collect the plaques. Moreover, the award was given on the same date on which a major international exhibition dedicated precisely to Artemisia opens at the National Gallery in London.

The film premiered on September 19, 2020 at the International Festival Visions from the World (Official Selection - Italian Panorama) recording a sell-out, with requests to allow further bookings. And again, for the same documentary film comes another international award from the United States: the Global Nonviolent Film Festival - the most important and renowned film festival against violence in the world, founded in 2012 by producer Daria Trifu and director and producer Bruno Pischiutta. During the press conference held in Hollywood, the winners of the 2020 Edition were announced, and the Best Feature Docudrama award was given to Artemisia Gentileschi, Warrior Painter by Jordan River. The film will be released in more than 15 countries worldwide from November 25, 2020.
