Concorso documentari internazionali 2008

Premio Consulta provinciale degli studenti di Torino

Prize assigned to

Shaheen Dill-Riaz Germania/Germany 2007 85'

The non-professional jury of the Turin Province Student Council awards Shaheen Dill-Riaz’s film Ironeaters in support of the director’s denouncing the violation of human rights, as exemplified by the situation in Bangladesh. Dill-Riaz paints the cruel reality of working conditions through a distanced cinematographic language that engages the viewer, depicting the character of individual workers by operating simple choices: a bare minimum of music that holds back the viewer’s understanding of the plot, while gradually feeding into the viewer’s awareness and emotions; the stark contrast between the first part, with its dream-like overtones, the striking second part, and the shifting viewpoint that gives a global vision of the context and the atmosphere. We wish to express our appreciation of all the documentaries that raised our awareness and emotions and helped us to grow, driving home the point that our way of looking at things is not necessarily the only one. 

Jury: Donatella Panaro (Jury coordinator), Federico Esposito, Novella Pretti, Alessandro Ciro Sciretti, Martina Tazzara, Luca Verre.
