Cronograf Grand Prix goes to Poland
The documentary film “On the Road” by Maciej Adamac won the Grand Prix of the 6th edition of the International Documentary Film Festival “Cronograf”, held last week in Chisinau.
The film tells the story of a homeless couple traveling in search for a house. The movie received three prizes – The Grand Prix, the Prize for Image and People’s Choice Award. “It is the third edition in the history of the festival in which the opinion of the public coincides with the jury’s one”, festival’s director Virgiliu Margineanu stated after the conclusion of the event.
The documentary films which participated in the main section of the contest were judged by 5 film directors, producers and critics from France, Germany, Romania, Ukraine and Moldova under the chairmanship of the movie critic from Chisinau Ana-Maria Plamadeala.
For the first time, Cronograf included the CADRO section, dedicated to movies about Romanians who live in different places around the world. This section, evaluated by three experts headed by Marian Volcu, a TVR producer and director, was won by Ileana Stanculescu, Romanian director that presented the movie, “Podul peste Tisa” (“Bridge over Tisa”), that describes the life of Romanian villages in Maramures.
The prize for the best local film went to DTV and Liliana Barbarosie, producer of the “Lumea de langa noi” (“The world next to us”) TV programme. It tells the story of several old villagers from northern Moldova that left their hoes and took a bike ride.
The International Documentary Film Festival brought this year to Chisinau almost 40 films from 18 countries. // Info-Prim Neo
