Cinema without Barriers ® has instituted in 2011 the "Friend of Cinema without Barriers ®" Prize created as award to personalities or organizations who have excelled over the years for the considerable support given to the project.

Culture and Cinema are, like water, a primary need for everyone. Year after year, film after film, we work for a true integration of all the public. The prize is an award for the social engagement and a symbolic thanks to audiovisual professionals who have excelled in supporting our initiative - Romano Fattorossi, President of A.I.A.C.E. Milano.
