DOKLeipzig 2014/ 6/ My WinnersSkrevet den 31-10-2014 16:53:09 af Tue Steen Müller  Your filmkommentaren.dk correspondent has seen the 12 long documentaries in the Dok International Competition 2014. He thinks it would be fun to make HIS list of winners for that category. I.e. a main prize and two honorary mentions. The films have been seen at the Dok Market during the last week, and it has to be said that the general level of quality for the 11 is high and that I appreciate the diversity in themes and storytelling. Best film ”Suddenly My Thoughts Halt” (Portugal) (by Jorge Pelicano) (2014), 100 mins. For its cinematically conveyed love to its characters at the hospital in Porto and the humorous and original storytelling approach with an actor, who moves in and tries to understand and to interpret insanity, helped by intelligent patients with wise words and authenticity. Honorary Mention ”Rules of the Game” (France) (by Claudine Bories & Patrice Chagnard) (2014), 106 mins. This well made, excellently photographed and edited human documentary catches, what it means to be young and unemployed, and to be involved in a training programme, where you are taught to write applications and ”sell” yourself at job interviews. It’s light in tone, it’s universal, the youngsters keep their own personality in this apparent no-go situation. Honorary Mention ”Toto and His Sisters” (Romania) (by Alexander Nanau) (2014) 93 mins. Heartbreaking. Mum is in jail, one sister is on drugs, the other fights for herself and for Toto in this film about a lost childhood, misery and poverty. With a society that tries to get the small boy away. Yes, away but to what? Toto is good at hip hop, that takes him away… A film with a strong sensibility for character and narrative.
