Director Toma Enache of the film "ENESCU, Alive Skinned" was recently awarded the "Premio Cultura" at the cultural event "Leoni, Gattopardi di Sicilia" organized 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 Chamber of Deputies in Italy and the UNESCO International Council of Dance.

Director Toma Enache emphasizes: "This film aims to bring to the forefront not only the genius of composer George Enescu but also his human side. I hope through this production to bring the audience closer to Enescu's soul and make him loved as he deserves. Beyond the genius composer, there is the man Enescu, whom the public can discover in this film. I hope our film will contribute to the taming of some of our fellow humans, a thing Enescu wished to do through his music. Maybe not just to tame them, but also to make them love him as he deserves."

The film boasts an outstanding cast, featuring Mircea Dragoman as George Enescu and Theodora Sandu as Princess Maruca, alongside well-known actors like Cezara Dafinescu, Manuela Hărăbor, Adrian Titieni, Cristian Sofron, Kira Hagi, Pavel Ulici, Filip Ristovski, Erica Moldovan, Codrin Dănilă and the late Constantin Codrescu. The costumes are created by the Italian Stefano Nicolao, famous for his work on Oscar-winning productions, while the music brings together works by George Enescu and original compositions by Sebastian Androne-Nakanishi, named "Composer of the Year 2022" at the International Classical Music Awards.

The soundtrack is performed by the National Orchestra of France, conducted by Maestro Cristian Măcelaru, Artistic Director of the George Enescu Festival, and the National Radio Orchestra of Romania, led by Maestro Horia Andreescu.
