AWARD OF THE ECUMENICAL JURY

The Ecumenical Jury, appointed by INTERFILM and SIGNIS, has given its Prize to the film

Hemma (Home)
directed by Maximilian Hult, Sweden/Iceland, 2013

Motivation: After her husband's death, Frida ignores her grief by taking care of Lou, her estranged grand-daughter; and Tom, a neighbour boy. With great tenderness, together they overcome the difficulties of day-to-day life. Trough directly expressed humour, comical situations and vivid colors, Hemma/Home shows an alternative way of dealing with loss, social conventions and love.

The 2013 Ecumenical Jury:
Arne Kristophersen (Denmark)
Vanessa Locke, (Germany)
Christian Murer (Switzerland)
Christoph Strack (Germany)
Magali Van Reeth (President, France)
