Per Ulisse (Italy/France, 2013)
by Giovanni Cioni
With the metaphorical frame of a cathartic journey, this film is truly of the people, made with people, and not just about people. Transforming indelible moments of story-telling and play-acting into eccentric cinema, the filmmaker restores us to the deep feeling of listening, of being open and responding with our own bodies to the experiences, fragilities, insanities, joys, and inherent beauty of other human beings.

SPECIAL MENTION
Costa da Morte (Spain, 2013)
by Lois Patiño
Every frame appears as a synthesis of formal elements, transforming the vastness of the landscape into a subjective experience, into an hypnotic state discovered when we spent a long time looking, just looking, at the constant movement of nature.
