18th International Film Festival
Innsbruck 9. - 14. June 2009
INTERNATIONAL JURY SPECIAL MENTION 1 QUE TAN LEJOS (Tania Hermida, Ecuador) A story that starts off in a sad mood and
ends in hope. SPECIAL MENTION 2 MOHANDAS (Mazhar Kamran, Indien) A special mention for the courage to denounce
local and general corruption. SPECIAL MENTION 3 DER ROTE PUNKT (Marie Miyayama, Japan/Deutschland) Two people of distinct origin share a destiny
despite of their differences. Special
Award of the Jury: 500,- EURO to the young actress of OYDINOY
for her remarkable acting performance. The actress convinces with her
intriguing presence and headstrong interpretation. Award of the Province of
Tyrol for the best feature film: TEZA (Haïle Gerima, Äthiopien) Seen through the eyes of an intellectual the
film displays 30 years of history of his country and reflects on how the
eagerness for power brutally destroys people and their ideals. An epic and
universal film. Documentary-Award: AU LOIN DES
VILLAGES
(Olivier Zuchuat, Tschad) The director Olivier Zuchuat presents
cinematographically striking shots and movements that are coined with
empathetic respect. In these pictures people are depicted who try to continue
their traditional daily habits in the forced situation of a refugee village to
preserve their human dignity. The
audience intensely learns about the enclosure of those that are excluded and
the ongoing violence without worn out violent pictures. Südwind-Award: ANOTHER
PLANET (Ferenc Moldoványi, Hungary) After
due consideration – and vivid discussion – we, the student jury, decided to
present the Südwind-Award to a film that moved us deeply. Powerfully and
skilfully, the film weaves together word and image, landscape and emotion,
thereby exposing the cruel circle of children’s exploitation from both an
intimate and a broader perspective. The film does not use a voice-of-God
commentary, but rather purely filmic means to provide us with important
insights. Its “here, there, and everywhere-approach”, its images from around
the world make ANTOHER PLANET an outstanding contribution not only to this
festival. Our congratulations go to its director, Ferenc Moldovanyi. ________________________________________________________________________ Actress Gabi Geist (Munich) received a price for her artistic work and her notable credits in favour of the International Film Festival Innsbruck.
