Awards of the Interreligious Jury

Prize of the Interreligious Jury, Nyon 2013
Zum Beispiel Suberg
Directed by:
Simon Baumann
Switzerland
2013

For its beautiful quest in which youth and tradition complement each other as well as the individual and the community. This enables the village to open up again to the world. The film maker`s starting point is his native village. The rural roots vanish and new inhabitants live in a self imposed closure. Without being nostalgic the director offers a vivid regard of an ongoing change of transformation.

Commendation of the Interreligious Jury, Nyon 2013
Les Chebabs de Yarmouk
The Shebabs of Yarmouk
Directed by:
Axel Salvatori-Sinz
Frankreich
2013

For its authenticity and poetic and touching language. The film maker approaches the reality of the enclosure in a Palestinian refugee camp in Syria. His work touches the dreams and the deceptions of a group of young people to overcome with courage and hope the doubts and difficulties of a whole generation.

Jury

Since 2005 SIGNIS and INTERFILM delegate an interreligious jury to the Festival Visions du Réel in Nyon (Switzerland). The jury is composed of a representative of INTERFILM and SIGNIS and a member of Jewish and Muslim faith. The jury awards a prize to a feature-length film of the international competition, and possibly a commendation, that sheds light on existential, social or spiritual questions as well as on human values. The prize of CHF 5’000 is donated by both the Swiss Catholic and the Swiss Protestant Churches (Conference of the Churches in the French speaking part of Switzerland/CER).
