Turkish Short TOZ (DUST) Wins in Cracow Film Festival

The European Film Academy (EFA), United International Pictures and the Cracow Film Festival congratulate the winner of the

  PRIX UIP CRACOW 2005
  Short Film Nominee for the European Film Awards 2005

  TOZ (DUST)
  by H. Fatih Kizilgok (Turkey)

  The Prix UIP is an initiative by UIP and the European Film Academy in co-operation with twelve festivals throughout Europe. The prize includes a financial donation of EUR 2,000 and an automatic nomination in the short film category of the European Film Awards 2005.

  The winning film which was selected by the International Jury tells the story about two young people who lead an ordinary existence in a small apartment: they read, watch television, and dream of travelling abroad. Their life is torn by a violent quarrel, whose causes and consequences both remain unclear. The camera looks in on their daily life, but the dust that fills the air prevents close observation

  TOZ joins six other nominations that were already selected:

  LITTLE TERRORIST by Ashvin Kumar (UK) at the Flanders International Film Festival Ghent, RANDEVÚ by Ferenc Cakú (Hungary) and RAIN IS FALLING by Holger Ernst (Germany) at the Valladolid International Film Festival, FLATLIFE by Jonas Geirnaert at the Premiers Plans - Festival d’Angers, HOI MAYA by Claudia Lorenz (Switzerland) at the Berlin International Fim Festival, and UNDRESSING MY MOTHER by Ken Wardrop
(Ireland) at the Tampere International Short Film Festival.

  The remaining nominees will be selected in co-operation with Norwegian Short Film Festival Grimstad (Norway), International Short Film Festival Vila do Conde (Portugal), Sarajevo Film Festival
(Bosnia-Herzegovina), Edinburgh International Film Festival (UK),
Venice International Film Festival (Italy), and Short Film Festival in Drama (Greece). Received on Wed Jun 15 21:41:43 2005
