AT BERLINALE 2008
The prize for a
film from the Forum went to the Bulgarian documentary "Corridor
#8" by Boris Despodov, producer – Martichka Bozhilova.
The Jury
stated: "This film is an honest and open look
at an area of the world suffering from a lack of connection. This film
is really about hope, healing, and man’s shared humanity. In the Balkan
countries of Macedonia, Albania, and Bulgaria, echoing the footsteps
taken by the disciple Paul so long ago, the film asks, “Why do these
countries have no means of common transportation?” As borders, walls,
and fences dominate man-made politics, this is an important reminder of
Christian responsibility and human progress."
