Krakow Film Festival: The Winners

Sometimes it´s jackpot! I had voted for – in my post yesterday – four films and they were all awarded: Talal Derki for his “Of Fathers and Sons” (The Golden Horn and the Fipresci), Marta Prus for her “Over the Limit” (The Silver Horn, The Silver Hobby-Horse (National Competition), The Audience Award – and awards to her editor Adam Suzin, and to her producers Anna Kepinska and Maciej Kubicki), Pablo Aparo and Martin Benchimol for “El Espanto” (The Silver Horn for Best Medium Length Documentary) and Stephen Nomura Schible for “Ryuichi Sakamoto: Coda” (Best film in the DocFilmMusic Competition and Student Jury’s Award).

On top of that a well deserved special mention to Belarussian Anastasiya Miroshnichenko for her “Debut”, a fine film, that I knew from watching a rough cut in autumn 2017, a touching portrait of women in prison and their kids.

It was more than 30 awards – list, click below –  that were handed out in the big Kijew Centrum cinema last night. Always a pleasure to be at Krakow Film Festival with a badge saying “media”, which means I was there to watch films. I did!
