Awards
The Work in Progress programme saw the project White One White scoop the £50,000 Eurimages Lab Project Award. The film is directed by Theo Court (Spain/Chile) and produced by El Viaje Films (Spain), Pomme hurlante (France), Don Quijote Films (Chile) and Kundschafter Films (Germany).
A jury consisted of Gaia Furrer (head of programming for Venice Days), Trevor Groth (30WEST) and Alex Traila (Sarajevo Cinelink, head of romanian international affairs) said that the film "explores a tragic story that it is lost in history, but has ramifications for what has happened all over the world".
That same jury also awarded the TitraFilm Award, which comes with €10,000 of postproduction services, to System Crasher. The project is being directed by Nora Fingscheidt (Germany) and produced by Weydemann Bros and Kineo Filmprodudktion (Germany) and co-produced by Oma Inge Film (Germany).
In the Co-Production Village, the ArteKino Festival Award was split between Polish director Aleksandra Terpinska’s OTHER PEOPLE and French director Peter Dourountzis’ Rascal. Both projects receive €2,000.
The inaugural Talent Village awarded its top prize, worth €5,000, to Miki Polonski’s Takotsubo, while a special mention went to Dawid Bodzak’s Episode.
