The Genziana d'Oro of the Club Alpino Italiano (Italian Mountainclimbing Club) awards Alone on the Wall as best mountain film and goes to the American filmmakers, Peter Mortimer and Nick Rosen. Whilst Nanga Parbat is awarded with the Premio Luciano Emmer established this year in collaboration with the film journalists. The international panel of judges of the 58th TrentoFilmFestival, presided by Maurizio Zaccaro, came to a unanimous vote for Marianne Chaud's film. "With her pure and smiling eyes we enter the fascinating world of the monks of the Phukthal monastery, with its spirituality, customs and day to day activities. The film was shot with great complicity by a director who is very familiar with the local culture, that, with an invisible camera, creates the feeling of living the events with your own heart”.
