At the Venice Film Festival

Mostra Internazionale d'Arte Cinematografica

(August 28 – September 7, 2013)

the Jury of the International Critics (FIPRESCI Jury)

presented two prizes:

Prize, international competition:

   "Tom at the Farm" (Tom a la ferme),

   directed by Xavier Dolan (Canada\France 2013)

   "for the energetic, tense and sensual filmmaking, 

   and for the rare example of convincing narrative disorientation

   on the winding road between genders and genres."

Prize for a debut film in Horizons or Critics' Week:

   "The Reunion" (Atertraffen),

   directed by Anna Odell (Sweden 2013)

   "for the intelligent and engaging way

   in which "The Reunion" blurs the boundaries between fiction and documentary

   and speaks about marginalization, bullying,

   and the complicated nature of group dynamics."

Jury members were:

Yael Shuv, Israel, president

Alissa Simon, USA

Jan Schulz-Ojala, Germany

Eva Novrup Redvall, Denmark

Silvana Silvestri, Italy
