The latter also received the prize of the "Tagesspiegel" Readers' Jury. Aisheen (Still Alive in Gaza) by Nicolas Wadimoff received the The Prize of the Ecumenical Jury for a film from the Forum programme. Members of the jury were Werner Schneider-Quindeau, Philip Lee, Yiva Liljeholm, Markus Leniger, Edgar Rubio and Alberto Ramos Ruiz.   The 20. NETPAC award (Network for the Promotion of Asian Cinema) for a film from a Forum programme was given to  Au revoir Taipei by Arvin Chen. Jury members were Tuck Cheong Wong, Vicci Ho und Jane Yu.   "Chen's assured direction, capturing the energy of the city that never sleeps, and bringing together a group of misfits to successfully create a charming film with style and panache."   Die Conféderation Internationale des Cinémas D'Art et Essai (C.I.C.A.E.), the International Association of Art Cinema awarded a prize to Winter's Bone by Debra Granik. The Forum jury consisted of Julien Moeschler, Benjamin Scholz and Davide Zanza. 
  "Winter's Bone is a moving and genuine tale of a young girl in the remote mountains of Missouri. She finds herself confronted with a world falling apart and forced to fight for her and her family’s future. The brilliant cast, the intense and thrilling plot together with the excellent visual and narrative characterization of the protagonists and their environment convinced the jury to highly recommend this movie to the CICAE cinemas."

   
Winter's Bone also received the award of the "Tagesspiegel" Readers' Jury which is endowed with 3.000 Euros. Members of the jury were: Anna Luisa Schmid, Anna Dabrowski, Ingrid Huldisch, Birgit Wohlsperger, Stefan Ritter, Alper Ari, Frederic Bertrand, Benjamin Richter und Andreas Koch.   "The film, in which a 17-year-old is forced to take full responsiblity for her family, creates an unflinching, realistic portrait of a family from Missouri. It shines thanks to the excellent acting – above all lead actress Jennifer Lawrence – as well as the performances of the local inhabitants and non-professional actors used at the locations where the film was shot. The camera stays so close to the figures and the occuring events that viewers feel a part of the action themselves. The film is further complemented by shots of the natural world and music from the region, both of which could not be more fitting."]]> Sat, 20 Feb 2010 12:24:00 +0100 http://www.arsenal-berlin.de/en/forum/news/news-display-rss/article/1857/170.html?cHash=14d604f7f1 Pietro Marcello's La bocca del lupo has won both this year's Caligari and the TEDDY Award, the Berlinale's queer film prize.

Following a speech in their honour by film historian Naum Klejman the film "Gisihiki" by Nagisa Oshima,... o.k., this "counter-festival" established itself as a contemporary festival format open to public discussion and new experiments. The very next year the Berlinale initiated a restructuring process and invited the Friends of the German Film Archive to put on their programme as an official parallel event to the main programme. The director of the International Forum of New Cinema was Ulrich Gregor, who stayed in this capacity until his retirement in 2001.    The relevence of Ulrich and Erika Gregor's curational work for international film and its reception and position in Berlin cannot be overestimated. They have played a decisive role in shaping the profile of the Forum within the Berlinale as well as the work of the Arsenal and remain closely affiliated to both to this very day.  ]]> Tue, 02 Feb 2010 15:23:00 +0100 http://www.arsenal-berlin.de/en/forum/news/news-display-rss/article/1839/170.html?cHash=4d3162e0f9 Seven of the world's most talented young indigeneous filmmakers from the USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand will be presenting their project Embargo Collective at the Arsenal cinema on February 15th. short films the filmmakers will be discussing their work with Steven Loft and Gisèle Gordon of imagineNATIVE as well as Berlin based filmmaker Frances Calvert.
