\n\tA Fox Under a Pink Moon<\/em> and Past Future Continuous<\/em> are among the winners of the top awards at the 38th edition of the International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam\u00a0(IDFA), unveiled at a ceremony held at the Dutch city\u2019s Eye Filmmuseum.<\/p>\n

\n\tMehrdad Oskouei\u2019s Pink Moon<\/em>, a self-portrait of 16-year-old Soraya who creates drawings and sculptures, won the honor for best film in the international competition. \u201cThis strong-willed Afghan sculptor and illustrator has been trying for five years to escape Iran and join her mother in Austria,\u201d notes a synopsis.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThis film opens a window onto the power of art and hope during the difficult times through which we\u2019re living,\u201d said the jury. \u201cThrough masterful cinematography, often filmed in dangerous conditions, and the protagonist\u2019s radiant energy, this empowering collaboration between an established filmmaker and a young new artist enables her to reclaim identity amid exile and domestic violence, to bloom despite repression, and to find solace through creation.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tMorteza Ahmadvand and Firouzeh Khosrovani\u2019s Past Future Continuous<\/em> won the IDFA Award for best film in the Envision Competition. \u201cMaryam fled\u00a0Iran\u00a0decades ago and settled in the United States,\u201d reads a synopsis for the doc. \u201cHer parents remained in Tehran. Now that they are growing older and political unrest is intensifying, she is concerned,\u201d reads a synopsis. \u201cShe persuades them to install security cameras in every room, so she can stay in direct contact with them from a distance. Maryam finds herself glued to this virtual connection, only now realizing how lonely they must have been all these years.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tNoted the jury: \u201cIn this film, with an outstanding text, the form elevates the subject to another level. Here, time and space are both concrete and suspended. The authors invented and set up a reality where cinematic experience offers emotional truth. The film presents itself as an unusual and poignant cinematic experiment that holds together various lines of reflection: diaspora, exile, historical repetition, and personal memory.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tMeanwhile, the IDFA honor for best first feature was bestowed upon Paikar<\/em> by Dawood Hilmandi. \u201cAfghan artist-filmmaker Dawood Hilmandi is called paikar<\/em> \u2013 the Persian word for \u2018war\u2019 or \u2018warrior\u2019 \u2013 by his family,\u201d reads a summary of the doc on the IDFA website. \u201cHis parents use this nickname proudly, but in this family portrait, it seems more of a burden than a blessing.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAnd the IDFA Award for best Dutch film went to Maasja Ooms for My Word Against Mine<\/em>. With one in 10 people hearing voices, the doc introduces us to five such people. One of them hears a single voice, another hears 19. Some voices want to protect, others are out to berate \u2013 or even kill.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tThe NPO Doc IDFA Audience Award winner will be unveiled on Friday.<\/p>\n
