Local Artists–distinctions for Selma Doborac and Siegfried Fruhauf at this year's Crossing Europe Filmfestival

Local Artists–distinctions for Selma Doborac and Siegfried Fruhauf at this year's Crossing Europe Filmfestival

We congratulate Selma Doborac for the Local Artist Award for De Facto at this year's Crossing Europe Film Festival Linz and Siegfried Fruhauf for the Special Mention for Cave Painting.

Jury Statement De Facto: „Layer upon layer of abstraction is cast over the research, yet the film is stripped down to its core. Carefully orchestrated details in image and sound contrast the brute force of the spoken word. Performed in breathless rhythm, the film gets into the heads of perpetrators and war criminals, presenting an inside view - without judging and without dramatizing. The maelstrom that develops is painful and lingering. While scene after scene the light leaves the set in the forest, the cinema in our heads remains brightly lit. Those images bear witness to atrocities that are sadly all too present – even in this very moment. The director has succeeded in creating a masterpiece about the question of morality and the unleashing of violence.“ (Nicola von Leffern)
Jury Competition Local Artists: Nicola von Leffern, Markus Reindl, Anna Spanlang
