LE QUATTRO VOLTE, TFL Production Award 2008, continues its success. The film by Michelangelo Frammartino has won the CineVision Award (€ 12,000).
The prize goes to a first or second non-German film in the Filmfest München program that is innovative, goes in new aesthetic directions and is an outstanding contribution to the cinematic arts. The CineVision Award is selected by an independent jury and is intended to encourage new filmmakers as well as to foster new tendencies in cinema.
The Jury explains the motivation: "Through images composed with bright clearness and with a soundtrack made only of natural sounds, the scenes of this film tell us of an ancient world, survived until nowadays. The film fades away and actually observes the relationship among men, animals and plants in a remote village at the southernmost tip of Italy; it reflects on everyday life as well as on great themes such as Nature, Religion, Life and Death, without wanting to patronize his spectators. A pure cinematographic adventure, an invitation to the freedom of seeing // sight".
