English I en Français I Oscar Tierra adentro by Mauro Colombo wins Yellow Robin Award at 8th Curaçao IFFRStill: winner Yellow Robin Award
On Saturday 13 April 2019, Tierra adentro by Mauro Colombo won the Yellow Robin Award at the 8th edition of Curaçao International Film Festival Rotterdam CIFFR. The Caribbean Shorts Award went to The Girl with Two Heads by Betzabé García. IFFR's sister festival in Curaçao gives the filmmaking talent of the Caribbean region an international platform. The Yellow Robin Award Competition and the Caribbean Shorts Competition have proved to be a springboard for filmmaking careers, with both winners automatically selected to screen at the next edition of IFFR. This year's winning titles will feature in IFFR 2020's Bright Future section. Yellow Robin AwardFilmmaker Maura Colombo won the seventh Yellow Robin Award for the Still: Tierra adentro
This year’s jury consisted of artist Eva den Heijer, IFFR 2019’s Young Film Critic Becca Voeckler, and IFFR’s festival director Bero Beyer. Their words on the winning film: “Although it deals with weighty political subjects like deforestation and migration, it’s not didactic. It understands that one inflammable shot speaks more than a talking head explanation. It knows there is no need for additional explanation when she’s telling the story of her perilous migration, from Africa to Latin America to the US. This is a film that understands that plural voices are what define a place, and the many perspectives they offer are what makes cinema so necessary.” Caribbean Shorts AwardThe Girl with Two Heads by Betzabé García won the third Caribbean Shorts Competition. The short film jury, which consisted of filmmaker Breanne Thomas, film producer Pablo Baksht, and IFFR’s managing director Marjan van der Haar, praised this film for having a “precise control of the image. It refuses to waver from its strong point of view and offers a peek into the way two very different worlds choose to interpret that image for better or for worse.”
