Ignotus wins "Best International Short Film 2006"

at the New York International Independent Film Festival


Nadya Cazan as Lady Isabella




Ignotus directed by Max Bartoli and starring Team Directors Lounge member Nadya Cazan as the female lead actress, wins "Best International Short Film 2006" at the New York International Independent Film Festival. Ignotus, set in Italy during the XIII century, tells the story of a Templar knight tortured and killed by the Inquisition. The deadly wounded knight recalls the most important moments of his life before his enemies reach him to finish him off. His mother's death, his knighthood, his wedding with the Lady Isabella, the crusade against the Cathars and the process against his family are replayed in his mind one last time.
But just when everything seems to be lost . . .(Imdb)

The 15 minute short, produced on a shoestring budget, impresses with stunning cinematography and the breathtaking play by Nadya as Lady Isabella.

Congrats
