BLACK LION FOR BEST FILM
FROZEN RIVER
by Courtney Hunt
The Jury unanimously decided to give the Best Film Award to Frozen River. The movie transcended the conventions of noir to bring us face to face with real people in profound relationship, created by an original, nuanced, genuine script and direction and thanks to the quality of performance of Melissa Leo, Misty Upham and Jacques Bruno.
SPECIAL PRIZE OF THE JURY “MINI”
LOS BASTARDOS
by Amat Escalante
The special Jury award goes to Los Bastardos. A film of great originality which combines a near-documentary vigilant eye with dream-like savage surrealism.
BEST ACTING AWARD
to the entire cast of
Det som ingen ved - WHAT NO ONE KNOWS
by Søren Kragh-Jacobsen
The award for the best acting goes to the entire cast of What no one knows, whose sensitive and realistic interpretation lifts the film above this genre, making it not just a story but a true portrait of family.
The jury of Young European Critics has given the prize
Best Documentary Film of DocNoir to
STRANGE DEATH
by Shachan Mager
We awarded Shachan Mager because in his documentary he examines words, knows how to listen to silence and skillfully interprets History through individual stories. Each person’s memories bring the past into the present through a search that is in continuous movement, in which the result is less important than the journey. |
