‘Baradar’ won 21 awards and has been selected for more than 50 film festivals around the world, including the Oscar-qualifying Chicago International Children’s Film Festival and Uppsala International Short Film Festival. It was a finalist at the David di Donatello 2020 (the Italian Oscars). Daniele’s soundtrack remarkably highlights the moving images of brotherly love, migration and hope within the film — and was awarded “Best Soundtrack” at the Phlegraean Film Festival.
