Waiting for August
Director: Teodora Ana Mihai
ROM / BEL
First, we would like to state that we are very aligned in our opinion - despite exceptionally strong and varied selection of images. The picture that fascinated us most had many respects the great things but was through a narrow and restricted setting to tell a big story that drew us to think. The director showed boldness in his presentation that was both effortless and human, but at the same time clear and let a person very close to the subject. The director is clearly a great respect for his characters and not least our viewers, who sit by a haunting picture.
The Church:
Toumi House (e. Toumi Villa)

The selection committee said the film Toumi house on the situation of women, of tradition and change decisively. She gives an insight into a world that is familiar and unfamiliar terms. Religious symbols and behaviors are a testament to the pain and joy of life, of powerlessness and power.
Toumi house reminiscent of how we are called to life and to be actors in their own lives. It shows how formal and superficial can suppress the people and lead the minds and hearts of the most critical. She reminds us of how young people and children are carriers of hope.
Toumi house shows that sometimes you need revolt to force changes as she recalls that they never sársaukalausar.
