The jury of the International Federation of Film Critics awarded the FIPRESCI Prize to the following films presented at the 76th Cannes Film Festival.
International Competition: The Zone of Interest
“for its formal radicality, the complexity of the sound and score, and its contrast between the invisible atrocities behind the wall and a supposed paradise. By presenting the horror as something usual, and using everyday dialogues, it’s a reflection on ignorance as a disease that connects the past with the present.”
Un Certain Regard: The Settlers (Los Colonos)
“due to its skillful storytelling, which sheds light on significant and often overlooked socio-political conflicts inherent in the history of Latin American colonization, and its distinct approach to its theme through its filmmaking style.”
Directors’ Fortnight & Critics’ Week: Power Alley (Levante)
“Combined with compelling performances, vibrant editing, engaging music, and a thrilling narrative, this film is making the point that abortion rights are human rights.”
Our Indian colleague Ashok Rane received the FIPRESCI-India Satyajit Ray Memorial Award 2023 from Isabelle Danel, President of FIPRESCI, on 21st May 2023 at the India Pavilion of the 76th Cannes Film Festival.
