by Guillaume Brac won the "Amore e Psiche" Award for Best Film at the 24th edition of MedFilm Festival held in Rome from 9 to 18 November. The documentary by the French director, his third film after two fiction features, was chosen by the jury (comprising Anna Bonaiuto, Valia Santella, Patrizio Nissirio, Babak Karimi and Jacopo Quadri) for its "shared perspective, without judgment, of a recreational space that becomes a theatre of a rich and plural humanity." According to the motivation, the French suburb is brought to life in the film beyond typical stereotypes, but without excluding important conflicts and contradictions. The Special Jury Prize went to The Swing by the Lebanese director Cyril Aris, while the award for Artistic Expression was awarded to Dear Son [+lire aussi :
