film profile] won the Europa Cinemas Label as best film of the Venice Days sidecar (see our article on the film).
The Europa Cinema Label jury was this year made up of four European exhibitors: Ana Cristina Santos, (DCA, Dundee, England), Mario Lorini, (Cinema Aribaldi, Poggibonsi, Italy), Fredrik Jönsson (Folkets Bio, Lund, Sweden), Alexander Sillaba (Cinema Paradiso, St Pölten, Austria).
The motivation for the prize read: "Immigration is a very real issue in Europe today and this is an enjoyable, well written and well directed film that makes its point with humour and without lapsing into cheap sentimentality. We feel that this can attract and entertain a wide audience around Europe and contribute to discussions of this important subject."
