Last week the Benelux Festival took place in the medieaval town of Clervaux
in Luxemburg. It is one of the most prestigious film festivals on the continent.
Today I attended the ceremony. The winners were ... Urbain Appeltans and
Magda Verbist, the makers of "Hannah", the film that won the Daily Mail Trophy
at BIAFF ! Urbain Appeltans also received a special award for "best photography"
in his film "Cinemascope". So, they were the over-all winners. In the category
"Films the Fantasie" the wellknown filmmaker Tony Jacobs won the first prize
with his film "Feelings". The oganizers only showed an extract of his film
at the winners show. It's about a dwarf. Some years ago he was very successful
at BIAFF with his "Yellow Tulips" and at Unica with his "Career". Christiane
Surdiacourt, who attends BIAFF every year together with her husband was one
of the judges. Some other judges known in the UK were Vladimir Murtin and
Julien Loncke.
