MEDIA AWARD

The Jury composed by Ben Andoni, Marin Mema, Stanela Kostallari

Mrs. Erde and her collaborators have organized their material into a small segment at each school before moving on to the next and then returning to each school later in the film. By their art you can see really how children’s views might have changed under the influence of their teacher.

By using the Eve Shalom/Whahat Al Salam ("Oasis of Peace") bilingual elementary school, where Israeli and Palestinian kids are taught together by two teachers, one Israeli and the other Palestinian, Mrs Erde showed us the real point of view: How the discussions in this classroom are by definition less one-sided and more dynamic, and could have easily filled an entire film and gone much deeper than Erde does here, by someone else.

And the winner is:

THIS IS MY LAND by Tamara Erde | France & Israel

BEST FILM IN ALBANIAN

The Jury composed by Saimir Kumbaro, Edmond Topi, Ina Lisi

Simbolikë e qartë dhe artistikisht e arritur. Vendosje e objektit në mënyrë të natyrshme dhe konkrete në përcjelljen e mesazhit te spektatori. Autorët kanë arritur të sinkronizojnë vlerat artistike me shijet e jurisë dhe besoj edhe me ato të spektatorit që asistoi në projeksion. Personazhi kryesor është mjaft interesant dhe përbën vlere në strukturën e skenarit. Intervistat janë dinamike dhe përcjellin informacion. Kamera është në funksion të tërësisë së dokumentarit.

Fituesi i kategorisë është:

BEST MIDDLE LENGTH

The Jury composed by Eroll Bilibani, Gianluca De Serio, Milos Djukelic

For the film that is raveling a story of a long trying to be non-violent struggle and resistance for the own, independent country and identity. The story put the light on for the most of us “invisible” nation of Sarahas/ Burbers and the art as weapon way of growing a wall built in the Sahara desert, their natural habitat.
