About “Carnival King of Europe”:
The film Carnival King of Europe 2.0 has received a number of international awards at ethnographic film festivals around the world, and the “Carnival King of Europe” research project won the Europa Nostra Prize for Cultural Heritage Research in 2017.
The Carnival King of Europe project was led by Dr Giovanni Kezich, director of the Museo degli Usi e Costumi della Gente Trentina MUCGT, San Michele all'Adige in Italy and the primary filmmaker is Michele Trentini, an external collaborator of the MUCGT.
Five countries participated in the first project (2007-2009), and eight in the second one (2010-2012). The project enabled field research in numerous European countries and the exchange of archival documentation between participating museums. Knowledge on common elements of traditional European carnivals was generated and presented in films, publications, through a traveling exhibition and on webpage https://www.carnivalkingofeurope.it/ . In 2019, Dr Kezich published the monograph “Carnevale: La festa del mondo.”
