ForadCamp 2022 Festival Awards

Can Gardell

«Can Gardell», by Sílvia Subirós and Florencia Aliberti.

 

The XI edition of ForadCamp Nature and Film Festival took place in Figaró-Montmany on September 17 and 18. In addition to the Official Competitive Section, other outdoor spaces and activities related to cinema have been offered, at the foot of the Montseny Natural Park. A total of two hundred people have enjoyed high quality and personal cinema in which nature is the protagonist, context or reason for reflection.

A solid and diverse Official Section has shown a dozen works from the United Kingdom, Netherlands and Germany, co-productions from South Africa and France, Hungary and Belgium, and a wide presence of shorts from the Spanish territory.

The jury for this edition, composed by Cloe Masotta, Rubén Margalló and Federico Delpero, has awarded the Best Short Film Award (awarded the ForadCamp Rain Trophy and €300 in cash), for «Can Gardell», by Sílvia Subirós and Florencia Aliberti,for the projection of a critical gaze, full of irony, to a rural world presented as a neoliberal fetish.” The jury has also awarded a special mention to «The day they blew up the mountain», by Alba Bresolí Aliberch, “for showing the capacity of cinema to preserve the vestiges of a reality in extinction. »

The Distribution Award, sponsored by Festhome and awarded by the INDOC Association, went to «Some Kind of intimacy» by Toby Bull, «for being an honest portrait in which the director, with minimal brushstrokes, depicts the relationship between human beings and nature, between life and death”.

The Special Mention granted by the Granollers Cultural Association, has been ‘ex aequo’ to the films: «Memory», by Nerea Barros and «The day that They blew up the mountain», by Alba Bresolí Aliberch. The mention has been granted in recognition of the work and good use of narration, photography and montage.

And, finally, the Audience Award has gone to «The day they blew up the mountain», by Alba Bresolí Aliberch.

We thank the great team of people who have made this edition possible. We look forward to seeing you next year!
