AWARD OF THE ECUMENICAL JURY
The Ecumenical Jury in Miskolc CineFest decided to give the prize to the film
BANDE DE FILLES (GIRLHOOD)
directed by Céline Sciamma, France 2014
because it shows a strong young woman staying hopeful in an otherwise hopeless situation.
Even though her circumstances such as poverty and living in a violent environment force her to make poor decisions, she stays true to herself and never loses the sense of what is right and what is wrong. She overcomes her personal struggles to find her place in life.
This film also shows the problems of many minorities around the world and supports the process of liberation.
Members of the Jury:
Szaboles Gebauer, Budapest (Hungary)
Ana Lanuza Avello, Madrid (Spain)
Vanessa Locke, Berlin (Germany)
