IMD
First price of AR$15.000 to “This is my land Hebron” by Giulia Amati and Stephen Natanson (Italy 2010) due to their capacity to reveal a problematic situation that is well-known but rarely presented in such an intimate manner. It is an objective film that makes people reflect on the lack of historical memory of a sector of the Israeli people and the conspiracy of silence kept by the State about the abuse carried out against the Palestine people. The award was given to this film for tackling with objectivity the subject of the violation of human rights in relation to the fundamental role that territory plays in the identity of a community.
Honorable Mention to “Herz des Himmels, Herz der Erde” by Frauke Sandig and Eric Black (Germany 2011) for dealing with the complicated history of the Mayan genocide, the displacement of the Mayan people and the destruction of their territory. We stress the proposal of the Mayan people to understand man and the environment as parts of a whole and consider the care of nature as an urgent necessity due to the destructive advances of the multinational companies.
