The “Foiling Film Festival” awards ceremony of the first world film festival dedicated to foiling was held on June 29th 2022 in Malcesine, in the scenic Palazzo dei Capitani and in the “Episode Series” category the prize went to the Luna Rossa web series “CHALLENGER FOR NOW”. The sequence, divided in two seasons of four episodes each, brings spectators inside the well-guarded base of Cagliari and depicts the team as it trains at sea and on land, in design meetings and shore team activities, telling the story of the Italian adventure to conquer the oldest and most coveted sports trophy in the world from a privileged point of view. The story is enhanced by unpublished interviews with the team’s lead characters, and exclusive onboard footage with a unique perspective. Film cameras followed the team’s daily activities for months, to reveal the “behind the scenes” of Luna Rossa’s challenge and allow an unprecedented glimpse of what it means to be part of such a fascinating enterprise as an America’s Cup campaign.
