Popoli Award to the Best Film
(10,000 euros)
CUCHILLO DE PALO di 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 dictatorship in Paraguay. Avoiding the pitfalls of the genre it offers a profoundly honest, personal, political and feminist film."
