Ettore Scola, who was Bif&st president, personally conferred in Teatro Petruzzelli the Fellini Award 2012 to the great Max von Sydow, who said in his acceptance speech: “In my career I was lucky to work with great authors, and this spoiled me a bit. I would like to share the award with the Italian film directors I worked with, with Ingmar Bergman, and with my wife. Without them, I would not be here”.
