CPH:DOX Awards 2010

The international documentary film fest in Copenhagen, CPH:DOX 2010, closed with a magnificent ceremony Friday 12 November, the prestigious DOX:AWARD going to 'Le Quattro Volte' by Italian director Michelangelo Frammartino.

DOX:AWARD
'Le Quattro Volte' by Michelangelo Frammartino (Italy-Germany-Switzerland). The films was awarded for its ability to depict the larger meaning of small things in life with black humour and a sense of poetic immediacy. The Jury described the film as a humouristic fable, which represents an entirely new type of film: the mythicial documentary.

In the same award-category, a Special Mention went to Andrei Ujica's 'The Autobiography of Nicolae Ceausescu'. The jury described the film as deeply political, but one that went beyond politics. In this film, about the 'performed self', the hand of the filmmaker is rendered almost invisible.
