Este artículo está disponible en inglés.

The 54th edition of the Giffoni Film Festival (19-28 July), one of the most important international gatherings for cinema dedicated to childhood and youth, closed on Sunday. 5000 young jurors coming from 33 countries have decided on the winners of this year’s Gryphon Awards, divided between feature films and short films for each category.

The Elements +6 section voted for the Polish film Lampo, The Travelling Dog, directed by Magdalena Niec. The story follows the strong bond between a sheepdog with fluffy white fur like a cloud and his companion in adventures, Zuzia, who has a heart condition. Against all odds, the loyal Lampo shows the whole world that he is ready to save the life of his little friend.

(Germany) by Soleen Yusef. The film talks about the cultural and linguistic barriers that prevent the insertion into society of a Kurdish family who’s arrived in Berlin. Sport, thankfully, can bridge the gap. Mona is a talented young footballer and thanks to her professor Mr Che, she will make sure to give great satisfaction to herself and her family.

The Generator +13 category chose the film Didi (United States) by filmmaker Sean Wang. In the film, 13-year-old Chris Wang’s Chinese origins are an obstacle when interacting with his American friends. Misunderstandings with his family and his schoolmates lead him to collide with a harsh reality.

The best feature according to the Generator +16 section was Tuesday (United States/United Kingdom), directed by Daina Oniunas Pusić. The film focuses on the relationship between Death and a terminally ill little girl named Tuesday. A bond forms that will lead the former to give more time to Tuesday to say goodbye to her mother Zora.
