A delegation led by President Lorenzo D'Ilario was received at the Institut français Centre Saint-Louis on the occasion of the Francofilm
The Panathlon Club Junior Roma has given an award for sporting merits to the movie "Slalom" by the French director Charlène Favier on the occasion of the XII edition of Francofilm, the Francophone Film Festival organized in the Italian capital city by the Institut français Centre Saint-Louis in collaboration with 15 Embassies and representatives of countries of the Group of Francophone Embassies in Rome and sponsored by the Festival International du Film Francophone de Namur (FIFF).
Produced by Mille et une Productions, it is a film with a cause, which denounces the plague of sexual abuse in the world of elite sport through a thorough and effective analysis of the relationship between coach and athlete.
The award, which was then sent by post to the winner, was collected by the director of the Institut français Centre Saint-Louis, François-Xavier Adam, during a ceremony that saw the participation of a delegation of the Panathlon Club Junior Roma led by President Lorenzo D'Ilario.
"Countless positive messages can be conveyed through sport. However, the promotion of the cultural and ethical values of sport also involves the courageous denunciation and the firm condemnation of the behaviors and actions that should have nothing to do with sport", said President D'Ilario, who also thanked the Institut français Centre Saint-Louis "for promoting a movie that is well suited to the great efforts made by Panathlon International to tackle all types of violence, doping, racism and corruption in sport".
