POPOLI AWARD to the BEST FILM
CUCHILLO DE PALO
by Renate Costa
(Spain, 2010)

"This film succeeds in articulating an investigation both into the film-maker’s family story and into the memory of the repression of Stroessner’s dictatorhip in Paraguay. Avoiding the pitfalls of the genre it offers a profoundly honest, personal, political and feminist film."

POPOLI and FONDAZIONE ENTE DELLO SPETTACOLO AWARD
to the BEST DIRECTOR to
Sylvain L'Esperance
for the film INTERIEURS DU DELTA
(Canada, 2009)

"In «Interieurs du Delta» Sylvain L’Espérance ‘s presence is gentle yet firm. He allows his subjects to express themselves and by doing so he shows us that they are not far away in the periphery of society but central to the crisis the world is facing."

GIAN PAOLO PAOLI AWARD to the
BEST ETHNO-ANTHROPOLOGICAL FILM
FOREIGN PARTS
by Véréna Paravel, J.P. Sniadecki (USA)

"For its courage of questioning the traditional approach of anthropological research by choosing the U.S. as the object of its investigation. The desperate community living in the Willets Point junk-yard embodies the conflicts of the American Dream."

POPOLI AWARD to the BEST SHORT FILM
COTONOV VANISHED
by Andreas Fontana (Switzerland, 2009)

"If someone living on Mars watched this short film he would understand the Earth much better."
