Aluminium Gryphon - Special Prize CIAL AWARD (Aluminium Wrapping Consortium) |
TERRA by Aristomenis Tsirbas (USA) Reasons: For its social and environmental value that the film expresses in a simple and straightforward way, through an attractive and colourful language. The animated battle between two sides: humans against aliens, shows the bad lifestyle of human beings, disrespectful of the planet where they live and that have now destroyed. “Terra” is awarded by CIAL and the Giffoni Film Festival, both for the technique and graphics used to make the film, and the new idea under the script: if in our universe there are other worlds and civilizations, it is also possible that they are better and more responsible than humans, who are represented as nasty and vicious predators. |

Jury Grand Prix |
THE BLACK BALLOON by Elissa Down (Australia) Reasons: A portrait of life that shows how the “diversity” of a single son can make a whole family special. It shows through the eyes, the actions and the body of the protagonist, Charlie, an autistic boy, played beautifully, just as laudable was the strength of his brother accepting him. Extraordinary shots, mostly long, and the musical score which perfectly accompanies the sequences, becoming an important part of the film. Congratulations to the director for giving us the opportunity to learn about such a mysterious reality. |

DECEMBER BOYS by Rod Hardy (Australia) Reasons: The film expresses the universal message of the strength of friendship in an involving and amazing way for a young audience.

Special Prize AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL AWARD |
HEART OF FIRE by Luigi Falorni (Germany/Italy/Austria/France) Reasons: For the simple way through which it looks at the reality of children used as soldiers, through a delicate interpretation which turns out to be a good choice to involve children in a difficult theme; for the surprising observations of the little protagonist that dismantle with extreme clarity an absurd system culminating in an alienating and useless spiral of violence; for the humanity that manages to get through anyway even in contexts where cruelty is unfortunately an everyday experience. |

Jury Grand Prix |
BLIND by Tamar van den Dop (The Netherlands) Reasons: Every scene in "Blind" expresses beauty and poetry. The five senses are presented in a completely new way: we see with our hands, we listen with our eyes, we perceive renovated reality through the main character’s blindness. The sleek and strong direction makes the film a painting in motion which magically comes to life. We were blinded and enlightened at the same time by the profound emotions conveyed by the film. |

Crystal Gryphon - Special Prize CAMPANIA BANK AWARD |
THE NEW MAN by Klaus Härö (Sweden/Finland) Reasons: “The New Man” asks a disturbing question without using any rhetoric: to protect the reasons of life even if at very high costs. Thanks to a straightforward direction, to a realistic and well made art direction and to a detailed script, the film offers the social and historical portrait of a society that aims at the building of “a new man”. The rebellion of the young protagonist, that slowly develops during the course of the story, reaches its climax in a memorable sequence, that of her friend Lisa’s suicide, and at the end, when the pitiful look of one of her overseers best portraits her rebel spirit. So we discover with horror that Gertrude preferred to be considered a mentally disturbed person in order to be able to give birth to her child. With the same horror and restlessness we discover a bitter end: Gertrude will get out of the mental health institute only in 1979, after 28 years, welcomed by her son, the same child that destiny had decided to take away from her. |

Special Prize ARCA CINEMAGIOVANI AWARD |
EVERYTHING IS FINE by Yves-Christian Fournier (Canada) Reasons: For bravely describing the social uneasiness of youths, torn apart by a void within from which it seems impossible to come out of. For the ability of keeping a low and controlled tone in contrast with the spiritual state of the main characters and for the harshness of the theme. For showing technology as both a shelter from chaos and an isolation form. For choosing not to explain such an intimate and unknown deed as suicide. |
