‘The Flats,’ ‘Two Strangers Trying Not to Kill Each Other’ Pick Up Top Awards at CPH:DOX
Italian director Alessandra Celesia picked up the Dox:Award for 'The Flats.' Special Mention went to 'Two Strangers Trying Not to Kill Each Other.'
On the theme of conflicts past and present, Italian director Alessandra Celesia picked up the top Dox:Award for “The Flats,” a powerful, timely and haunting film about a community living in the shadow of the pain and trauma of the Troubles in Northern Ireland. Coming like a conversation shouted through one of those locked gates, our winning film is a collective portrait of several proud, funny, resourceful individuals, who would be willing to die for their community but who choose each day the harder, braver and more hopeful option of living for it instead.” The newly introduced Audience:Award was handed to “No Other Land” by Rachel Szor, Yuval Abraham, Basel Adra and Hamdan Bilal, in which a young Palestinian activist teams up with an Israeli journalist to chronicle the despair of the displaced in his home territory.
