Filipino actor Allen Dizon won the Best Leading Actor Foreign Premo Humphrey Boggart Award at the recently concluded International Imago Film Festival di Civitella del Tronto held at Civitella del Tronto, Italy.
Allen bagged the award for his film “AbeNida” written by Ralston Jover, directed by Louie Ignacio and produced by Baby F. Go of BG Productions International.
Dennis Evangelista, producer and talent manager of Allen provided the citation on the actor by the festival written by journalist Antonio D’Amore. To wit: “Intense, complicated, painful, but still credible, even in the barely hinted nuances, the interpretation of Allen Dizon in ‘AbeNida’ is a very successful manifestation of true art.
“The construction of the torment and tormented daily life of a man broken by lost passions, by love betrayed to faith denied, is in a fresco of skilled chiaroscuro, which the actor outlines without ever slipping into exaggeration.
“The hints of lucid madness and crazy lucidity is entrusted to a skillful and silent mimicry, which evokes ancient oriental theater traditions, however revealing the great work of preparations of an actor with crystalline talent.”
Chiaroscuro is explained as the treatment of light and shade in drawing and painting.
According to Dennis, it was good friend from Italy, Benjamin Vasquez, who accepted the award on behalf of Allen.
“Special thanks also to our Italian friend Roby Borraccia for being with Benjamin and taking photos and video during the award ceremony,” said Evangelista.“The award is Dizon’s 50th acting award so far and his 12th international Best Actor to date,” added Dennis.
