The jury made of the actress
Alina Grigore, the film critic
Ileana Bîrsan and the director
Florin Iepan decided to give the
Ceau, Cinema! “Răzvan Georgescu” Trophy to the feature film
3/4,
the fiction debut of the Bulgarian director Ilian Metev. The prize is of 1,500 Euro and is awarded by the festival.
The jury`s motivation spoke about the “courage and credibility with which the director together with the actors make us the witnesses of the decay of the relationship between a father and his sons, of each of them` s parting with the family and how they make out the mother`s absence a subtle but important presence and a source of emotion, without falling into sloppiness.”
The Audience Award (500 Euros), offered by Casa Auto Timișoara,
was shared by two films:
Falling directed by the Ukrainian director Marina Stepanska`s and
Comic Sans directed by the Croatian director Nevio Marasovic.
Falling was also the winner of the Vitas România Trophy for an independent or debut film. The 1,000 Euro worth
award was settled by the
Ceau, Cinema! team and Vitas România.
An honorary award was received by the well-known filmmaker Andrei Ujică, the special guest of this year`s edition.
Andrei Ujică held an extremely appreciated masterclass and took part in the Q&As after each screening from his
Retrospective.
Ceau, Cinema! is a
festival dedicated to the European film and it is organized by the Big Screen Association and by the Cultural Film Association.
