WINNERS OF THE FESTIVAL
BEST INTERNATIONAL DOCUMENTARY AWARD
Materia oscura
by Massimo D'Anolfi e Martina Parenti
(Italy 2013)
Motivation:
Visionary. Thanks to evocative, distressing, sometimes violent images.
Disturbing. For the contrast between beautiful and silent landscapes and the brutality of experiments creating desolation, desease and death. Documented with a care bordering on mania by military filmcameras.
Terse. The absence of soundtrack both in the footage and the archive material is highlighted by the final camera-car that pulls us malinconically from a misterious microcosmos, sometimes surreal.
How sad, how sad. How terribly, terribly sad. The white veil becomes the universal symbol of suffering.
INTERNATIONAL DOCUMENTARY JURY AWARD
The turtle's rage
by Pary El-Qalqili
(Germany 2012)
Motivation:
Involving and intense story/encounter between a man coming from Palestine and his young daughter, also author of the film.
Exemplar is the way the themes of identity, exile and family relationships are told on different narrative levels. It ends how it begins, with an EXT. - NIGHT of their Berlin home, as if to suggest that nothing actually ever begins or ends.
INTERNATIONAL DOCUMENTARY MENTION
Nadea e Sveta
by Maura Delpero
(Italy 2012)
Motivation:
Departures, returns, and again departures. Sweet and bitter. With a discreet and involved direction that manages to create intimacy with the protagonists along the whole film, transporting us in their intricate lives. The camera is delicate and equally involved, masterly able to spot, both in dialogues and faces, the hopes and the difficulties of three generations of silent women, living among us.
BEST INTERNATIONAL SHORT DOCUMENTARY AWARD
As she left
by Alexandra Kandy Longuet
(Belgium 2012)
Motivation:
Poetic. Poignant. Deep. Devastating. Evocative and magnificent photography.

by Lukasz Borowski

The mass of men
by Gabriel Gauchet
(UK 2012)
Motivation:
For the faultless structure of the mise-en-scène, the perfect narrative tension, the quality of the acting and above all, the incisive ability to read in the best of ways our current social crisis.
INTERNATIONAL SHORT MOVIE MENTION
Ambitious
by Ainur Askarov
(Russia 2011)
Motivation:
For its ability to give an universal narrative importance to all the small everyday gestures of a rural reality so far from ours.

INTERNATIONAL SHORT MOVIE MENTION
Misterio
by Chema García Ibarra
(Spain 2013)
Motivation:
For the cruel sarcasm representing an oppressive enviroment. For the precision with which its narrative means allow this story to produce a perfect bond between comedy and social satire.
BEST SHORT ANIMATION MOVIE AWARD
Super
by Johan Klungel
(Netherlands 2012)
Motivation:
By means of a funny visual storytelling the short immerses us in the atmospheres and sensations of our condition as consumers - on the edge between dream and nightmare, between enjoyment and bad taste. The film stimulates all the senses of its character - from sight to taste, from smell to sex - and ends up tickling our intelligence through irony.
SHORT ANIMATION MOVIE MENTION
The little Bird and the Leaf
by Lena von Döhren
(Switzerland 2012)
Motivation:
The little Bird and the Leaf (Der kleine Vogel und das Blat) is a perfect little film that, in the difficult search for simplicity for a children's audience, conveys the emotion of nature through the grace of animation and reaches poetry, enhanced by the clear and simple art work.
"LEGALITA' AL CINEMA" AWARD
Lucciole per lanterne
by Stefano Martone e Mario Martone
(Italy 2013)
Motivation:
The price was given for the strenght of this film in facing a theme central to our times: the privatization of water supplies. In this case the film tells us how in Chile the water is basically owned by the Italian main energy company, Enel. The film talks about the big issues of our present time, showing the consequences of a one-and-only development model upon the lives of people that lives at the margins of geografic and social situations, and represent “exceptions, obstacles, survivors”.
