THIS CRAZY HEART by Marc Rothemund (Germany) |
| Special Prize - THE CGS (Social-cultural Cineclubs for Young People) AWARD - "Percorsi Creativi 2018" | |
CROSS MY HEART by Luc Picard (Canada) Reasons: Because the film emphasizes the importance of the connection between brothers, especially when it can be made more fragile by critical socio-political conditions, such as those of Quebec crossed by the 1970 separatist movements, which are the background to the story told . The plan of the kidnapping organized by an unlikely band of boys, anticipated by narrative clues already in the incipit, is followed by an engaging narrative that can alternate the realistic tones of the documentary with those of adventure and the story of formation, leaving ample space to imagination. The frequent subjective frames gives us Manon's point of view whilst the long shots put the audience at the center of the story. |
| Special Award - COMIX AWARD (for the most enterTEENing trailer) | |
LOS BANDO by Christian Lo (Norway/Sweden) Reasons: In just over 30'' the LOS BANDO trailer shows us in a very entertaining way what the dreams of young people are made up of: music, friendship and desire of adventure. |
