GdA Awards 2017

GdA DIRECTOR'S AWARD

The Official Jury for the Giornate degli Autori, chaired by Iranian filmmaker Samira Makhmalbaf, has bestowed the GdA Director's Award on the following film in the Official Selection:

Candelaria by Jhonny Hendrix Hinestroza

The jury was composed of young European cinephiles participating in the 28 Times Cinema program and released the following statement about the winning film:

"This is one of those rare films which deliver kindness and warmth to the audience by showing an unconventional way of rediscovering love by an elderly couple struggling to survive in Cuba. In its visual aesthetics the film unites stunning actors' performance, a meaningful cinematography, warm Latino colour palette, unpredictable story development and a smart social message."

The GdA Director's Award carries a cash prize of €20,000 euros, to be split equally between the director and Beta Cinema, the international distributor, which agrees to use the amount received to promote the international circulation of the film.
