14th Film Festival Cottbus - Festival of East European Cinema
Nov. 2-6, 2004

At the 14th Film Festival Cottbus, the Ecumenical Jury has awarded the film

Kontroll (Control)
by Nimród Antal, Hungary 2003.

 "The Budapest Metro gets a gripping parable of the hidden dimensions of human existence - regarding social as well as psychological aspects. Precisely the director connects the blackest depths of our society with those of the human soul. Sharply plumbing their perils he never loses touch of the hope for deliverance", said the judges (Bernadette Meier, Switzerland, Angelika Obert, Germany, and Petr Siska, Czech Republic). The Ecumenical Jury is organised by the evangelical International Church Film Organisation, INTERFILM, and the Catholic World Association for Communication, SIGNIS.
