Top industry awards at the 53rd edition of the international documentary film festival Visions du Réel have gone to “La Bonga,” “Anatomy of the Night,” “The Other Profile,” “Noor” and “Becoming Roosi.”
Considered to be the festival’s top industry prize, the Vision Sud Est award comes with a 10,000 CHF cash prize handed out to the best project from the Southern or Eastern Europe, and is the only award that takes in titles in both of the festival’s main industry sections: the VdR-Pitching and the VdR-Work in Progress segment.
Berlinale artistic director Carlo Chatrian, a member of the jury, said: “We were mesmerized by the performance of the pitch – all we had to do was close our eyes.” The coveted RTS Award, which consists of a pre-buy of TV rights by Switzerland’s French-language public broadcaster, went to two projects: “Noor” by Jérôme le Maire and “Becoming Roosi” by Margit Lillak , a coming-of-age film about a feisty young girl who grows up as the child of an environmental activist.
Are these people mocking Africa or something?
