AWARDS 2018

Jury composed by Gabriela Vaz Pinheiro, Paula Rabinowitz and Regina Guimarães

Grand Prix of the Jury

STAINS / KTAMIM, de Yekaterina Diakova

 

Jury statement

Against the background of the collapse of the Soviet Union, and with it middle-aged men, STAINS portrays the difficult and silence filled relationship of a daughter with her alcoholic father, looking at it as a succession of mismatches on the scale of a both political and personal time. The jury intends with this prize to value the way the director articulates the intimate dimension with the public sphere.

HONORABLE MENTION

THE HOUSES WE WERE / LE CASE CHE ERAVAMO, by Arianna Lodeserto

 

Jury statement

Through dense archival research into iconic images and sounds, THE HOUSES WE WERE builds a well-grounded exposé of the effects of neoliberal capitalism's management of real estate on the domestic lives of citizens.

 

Best Fiction Award

MEMORIAM, by Andreia Pereira e Rita Manso

 

Jury statement

Connecting new media technologies to the loss of memory, the film evokes the possibilities of poetry, found deep within incantations, to the erasures of personality.
