Winners revealed in Generation Kplus strand of the Berlinale.
India’s The Trap (Ottaal) has won the Crystal Bear for Best Film in the Generation Kplus strand of the Berlin Film Festival (Feb 11-21), as voted by the ‘children’s jury’.
Directed by Jayaraj Rajasekharan Nair, the film received its international premiere in the youth strand of the Berlinale and centres on an eight-year-old dealing with the loss of his parents who dreams of his future.
The jury said of the feature: “This exceptional movie touched us all with its irresistible images of nature, laid-back music and amazingly gifted actors. The unique way of filming certain details blew us away. We think it’s important that such a sad and serious topic be tackled in a movie, though the film also managed to capture the humour and joy of life.”
A special mention went to Miss Impossible (Jamais contente) from French filmmaker Emilie Deleuze.
