‘Aisha Can’t Fly Away,’ ‘It’s a Sad and Beautiful World,’ ‘Chronicles From the Siege’ Take Top Prizes at Atlas Workshops
'Aisha Can’t Fly Away,' 'Chronicles From the Siege' and 'It’s a Sad and Beautiful World' claimed post-production prizes at the Atlas Workshops.
“It veers towards genre with an amazing sense of framing and direction,” they said, noting that the project shared a DP Mostafa El Kashef with one of last year’s Atlas winners, “The Village Next to Paradise,” praising the cinematographer’s work in both. Post-productions jurors Grégoire Melin (Kinology), Giona Nazzaro (Locarno Film Festival) and Malika Rabahallah (Filmfest Hamburg) awarded €20,000 ($21,159) to director Abdallah Al Khatib’s “Chronicles From the Siege.” The awards capped a growth year for the workshops, which more doubled in length, introducing a four-day online component held in November and an extra day devoted to small-group creative labs on the ground in Marrakech.
