The prize dedicated to Mario Verdone, handed to a young Italian auteur (who is a maximum of 40 years old) who has particularly stood out during the latest film season with his or her feature debut, was set up by the European Film Festival in agreement with the Verdone family, and in conjunction with the Experimental Film Centre and the National Union of Italian Film Journalists. Carlo, Luca and Silvia Verdone will be the people who choose the winner of the 2016 edition from among the ten auteurs singled out prior to the event.
