AWARD OF THE ECUMENICAL JURY

At the 29th International Warsaw Film Festival from 11-20 October 2013 the 4th Ecumenical Jury of SIGNIS and INTERFILM has awarded its Prize to the film

Ida
by Pawel Pawlikowski, Poland 2013

Motivation: "Ida" is a strong and complex drama of a young girl brought up at a convent who undertakes a strange journey to find her true identity in the hard times of postwar communist Poland. This subtle and elliptic film, shot in an ambitious black and white cinematographic style, raises questions of family ties, forgiveness and mature faith.

Members of the Jury:
Lukas Jirsa (Czech Republic)
Jaroslaw Szoda (Poland)
Jean-Michel Zucker (France)

The Warsaw Grand Prix, the main prize of the International Competition, funded by the City of Warsaw, has also been awarded to "Ida".
