Chaired by US photographer-director Sharon Lockhart, who was aided by Cecilia Barrinuevo, Richard Billingham, Delphine Chuillot and Katsuya Tomita, the international competition jury at the 30th FIDMarseille handed the 2019 Grand Prix to I Never Climbed the Provincia by Chile’s Ignacio Agüero, who previously won the 2016 edition of the gathering with This Is the Way I Like It 2.

As for the French competition (the jury for which was presided over by actress Agathe Bonitzer), victory was claimed by Jean-Marc Chapoulie’s Mittelmeer [+leggi anche:

. The film gathers views found on the internet, provided by strategically placed surveillance cameras facing the Mediterranean sea, all along its north and south shores: on hotel roofs, beaches, along the coasts, in harbours and so on. Chapoulie decides to alter these shots: he changes the colours, and adds and plays with the sounds. He also allows the audience to hear three off-screen voices – one of these is his own, as the father of a young boy whom he engages in a conversation with about the images before our eyes. Yet another voice can be heard: that of Nathalie Quintane, a writer whom Chapoulie conceived this project with and who expresses thoughts about migration, home life and dwelling. Mittelmeer was produced by Elsa Minisini and Elisabeth Pawlowski for Baldanders Films, which is also in charge of the distribution.

Also in the French competition, it is worth mentioning the Special Mentions that were bestowed upon the medium-length film How Glorious It Is to Be a Human Being by Mili Pecherer (which was also singled out with a Special Mention in the First Film category) and the French-Portuguese co-production Danses Macabres, Skeletons and Other Fantasies [+leggi anche:

by Pierre Léon and Rita Azevedo Gomes.

Lastly, it is worth highlighting the fact that the Best First Film Award was pocketed by Germany’s Ute Adamczewski and her Status and Terrain, a work that she self-produced and which she is also distributing herself. The movie explores a series of urban sites and landscapes in the former German Democratic Republic (Saxony and Thuringia). Alongside highly elaborate arrangements of archives from different sources (police reports, survivors’ testimonies, administrative correspondence and more), an off-screen voice establishes exactly what these places set the stage for in March 1933: the Nazi concentration-camp system and the elimination of all political opposition. Over time, Adamczewski lends an ear to the echoes of this traumatic past – namely, the politics of memory as they succeeded one another under different regimes. Her montage techniques produce an increasingly complex form of archaeology that attempts to lay bare, in each landscape, the layering of memorial writing.
