Best Documentary 2012
Raw Material, Directed by Christos Karakepelis. Greece, 2012. 78′

The documentary’s theme is the financial activity behind the recycling of metal objects that are “disposed” by the average consumer of a large city, collected by fringe groups who unconsciously are the kingpin of a gigantic mechanism of wealth.

Through five ragmen, the documentary explores the backstage of consumerism and follows the invisible journey of metal that ends up as RAW MATERIAL.

Best Fiction Feature Film 2009
The last homecoming, directed by Corinna Avraamidou. Cyprus, 2008. 85′

A love story set amid the unstable political landscape of 1974 Cyprus. A world of beauty and innocence will be threatened, while loss and betrayal will change things forever. A menage a trois with two brothers falling for the same woman, a prophetic staging of Euripides’ “Trojan Women” at the seaside town, a passionate nationalist who is driven to the extreme: a small community living its personal stories, dreams, hidden and compelling desires, set at the backdrop of the political turbulence of that summer.
