Artelier-Belinda De Vito-Domenico Redavid
We were just told on Monday night that the film has won this years’ edition of the International Documentary Festival NodoDocFest. The doc was shown on May 9 as part of the competittive Panorama section, programmed by Fabrizio Arpesella. The awards were given on Monday 11 in the evening. Due to us being at Hot Docs with Forty Foot, we were sorry not to be able to be there to enjoy this great festival and very happy news for Whackala.
This is what the judges said about the film: “[it] showed a clear historical context and evolution of what may be considered “third world” with a simplicity almost incredible in view of the complexity of the topic… For the simplicity of the editing and the close connection with the lives of the characters it was possible for the viewer to get carried by emotions and live the social status of the protagonists.”
