A win straight from the people. @kingsofvenice has been awarded Audience Award for Best Documentary Feature at the Calgary Underground Film Festival. A powerful recognition for directors Sveinn Ingimundarson and S.D. Saltarelli and a film that’s clearly hitting hard with audiences. Photo Credit: Sebastian Buzzalino

There are places that are not places, but passages. Moments where time slows down and something deeper begins to move. Kings of Venice was never just a documentary , but a crossing. Grateful to Calgary Underground Film Festival and to everyone who shared this energy. Some connections are not planned. They simply happen when the time is right. The journey continues. @calgaryundergroundfilm @kingsofvenice @russoernesto #CalgaryUndergroundFilmFestival #CUFF #YYCFilm #IndieFilm #FilmFestival ArtHouseFilm CinemaCulture KingsOfVenice … special thanks to @unfoldingcreativephoto for the photos 📷

The @kingsofvenice are the Kings of CUFF. Director S.D. Saltarelli and star Ernesto Russo (@russoernesto ) took to the red carpet last night for the Calgary premiere of KINGS OF VENICE 👑🏓 A madcap look at the paddle tennis community of Venice Beach, CUFF audiences laughed, cheered, and learned a ton about this wild underground sport. The pickleballers in the house may have even accepted themselves as the villains of this story (we hope). We were all a bit star struck with doc subject Ernesto - a former male model from Italy and one of the top paddle tennis competitors in Venice. Come back to visit any time! ♥️🤩 See what other wild stories are coming to the fest and get tickets at calgaryundergroundfilm.org The 23rd CUFF runs from April 16-26 at @globecinema_yyc .
