Locarno Ecumenical Awards (from <\/font>www.signis.net<\/font><\/a>) <\/font><\/p>\n

<\/font>
At the Locarno Film Festival (Switzerland), the Ecumenical Jury gave its Prize \u2013 which includes 20.000.- CHFr given by the Catholic Church and the Reformed church in Switzerland to assist distribution of the film in Switzerland \u2013 to \u201cLA NEUVAINE\u201d (Canada) directed by Bernard \u00c9mond.<\/font> \u00a0<\/font> $\"La Neuvaine\"$ <\/font>\u201cWhile many explicitly religious films fall short because of too earnest proselytising or alienating aspects of piety, \u201cLA NEUVAINE\u201d<\/b> succeeds in presenting simple faith with respect, acknowledging how difficult it is to believe in God in a secular world and in the aftermath of tragedy. When a young man making a pilgrimage of prayer for his dying grandmother encounters a doctor paralyzed by anguish, the interaction leads not to miracles or conversion but to kindness and deep possibilities for hope. \u201d <\/font><\/p>\n

The Ecumenical Jury awarded a Commendation to \u201cFRATRICIDE\u201d<\/b> by Yilmaz Arslan (Germany). <\/p>\n

\u201cFRATRICIDE\u201d<\/b> provocatively confronts the burning European question of refugees. The setting is Germany, the people the Kurds. Yilmaz Arslan combines a complex plot about two brothers with scenes of visceral violence as well as a tender picture of caring friendship. His film is both an accusation against racism and neglect and a plea for common humanity and decency.\u201d <\/p>\n

The members of the Ecumenical Jury were Karsten Visarius (Germany, President), Peter Malone (Australia), Randy Naylor (United Kingdom), Rose Pacatte (USA), Adela Peeva (Bulgaria) and Ruben Rosello (Switzerland). <\/p>\n
