The winners of the CineLibri competition programme will be announced this evening, November 3, alongside the premiere of 'Fatherland', the new film by Paweł Pawlikowski. Which film won the award for Best Literary Adaptation?
'The Black Ball' was the overall winner at this year’s film and literature festival. The special guest of the evening was Pawlikowski himself, who received an award in recognition of his outstanding contribution to cinema. He arrived in Sofia for the official premiere of his latest film.
As part of the tradition, the awards ceremony at Hall 1 of the National Palace of Culture was accompanied by the Bulgarian premiere of a film that has triumphed at some of the world’s most prestigious film festivals. This year, that film was 'Fatherland'.
Jacqueline Wagenstein, founder, president and artistic director of CineLibri: "This has been one of the most successful editions – perhaps the one with the most guests, the most films and the highest number of sold-out screenings so far. I believe it reaches a successful climax today with Pawel Pawlikowski’s wonderful, divine film and with Pawel Pawlikowski himself here in the audience."
Jim Sheridan, President of the Jury: "In the end, we were all happy with the choice we made. I don't think anyone was disappointed, because the films in the top three were really good and addressed some very important issues."
Teodora Markova, jury member: "We simply tried to assess and set out our expectations of what a film should have in order to receive this award. I believe it needs to have courage – courage in its means of expression, courage in its message and courage in its approach."
The festival runs until 8 November.
