Toma Enache, the director of the film "ENESCU, Flayed Alive," was recently awarded the "Premio Cultura" at the "Leoni, Gattopardi di Sicilia" cultural event, held at Palazzo Donà dalle Rose in Venice. This project was created and directed by Nino Graziano Luca, in collaboration with Countess Chiara Modica Donà dalle Rose, under the patronage of the Culture Committee of the Italian Chamber of Deputies and the UNESCO International Council of Dance.
Director Toma Enache emphasizes: "This film aims to bring into focus not only the genius of composer George Enescu but also his human side. I hope that through this production, we can bring the audience closer to Enescu's soul and make him beloved as he deserves. Beyond the genius composer, it is the man Enescu, whom the public can discover in this film. I hope our film will contribute to the soothing of some individuals, a goal Enescu wanted to achieve through his music. Perhaps not just to soothe them but also to make them love him as he deserves."
