Special Prize AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL AWARD |
STAY! by Lourens Blok (The Netherlands) Reasons: For friendship and the pivotal role it plays in Human rights defense, for the integration promoted among different cultures - which is much more than just plain tolerance. Lieke, one of the main characters of the story, thanks to her stubborness, reminds us that you never have to surrender before the thousands obstacles that you sometimes have to face when you fight for a friend's rights, even when adults seem to have given up. The strength of her friendship with Milad goes beyond 'formal' expressions of affection and sympathy, it searches real solutions even when there seems to be none left. In a very touching way this story reminds us that ‘friendship has no limits’ and if people gave it the rght value the world could really change for the better. |

Special Prize "LA BOTTEGA DIGITALE" AWARD |
THE FOSTER BOY by Markus Imboden (Switzerland/Germany) Reasons: Because it deals with themes such as exploitment of underage, violence, personal affirmation at all costs; it lashes against stolen youth and represents the problems that young people have to deal with on a daily basis but also their dreams that can be achievable through music. We are happy to give the movie this award for the emotional impact it has had on everyone of us thanks to strong visuals wrapped in a cold and detached atmosphere. |
|||
Special Prize ARCA CINEMAGIOVANI AWARD |
LUCKY by Avie Luthra (South Africa/United Kingdom) Reasons: For having conveyed that through knowledge and understanding you can learn to talk the same language that is the language of sympathy and love, capable of morphing even racism into acceptance and tolerance and affection. For having built a story made up of both silence and words, symbols and little gestures, escapes and returns through which the main character, notwithstanding his misfortune never fails to hope in a brighter future and happiness. |
|||
Special Prize CGS AWARD "Percorsi Creativi 2012" |
MILO by Berend & Roel Boorsma (The Netherlands/Ireland) Reasons: Because through an original and well written story it deals with issues such as appearance and acceptance which adolescents face on an everyday basis, without ever being banal or predictable and because it connects intriguingly with the main theme of the festival. The quality of the direction and acting makes the movie stimulating and capable of bringing out emotions and thoughts through the use of expressive tools that can be enjoyed even by an audience of very young people. |

In the hope to be able to see it in every theatre in the world. |

Aluminium Gryphon - Special Prize CIAL AWARD |
170 HZ by Joost van Ginkel (The Netherlands) Reasons: "170 HZ" tells the story of a strong and unconditional love between two adolescents who are deaf and dumb. A love made up of silence and gestures that make the two youth the sole protagonists of an exclusive world. In order to fight against their parents' prejudice who seem to want to separate them and not allow them to live their love which is already complicated as it is, the two kids decide to escape and find solace in an abandoned submarine where no eyes can see them. This huge metal box will be their love nest where they will have the opportunity to get to know one another with the help of water which symbolises the catharsis of their feelings. The Ambiente CIAL jurors are happy to give 170 HZ the Ambiente award, for the poetry and courage of a young and troubled love and for nature that protects you and sets you free |
