With a precise audiovisual language, El Minero is a work of great narrative rigor. Effective in its structure and with great testimonial value.

Prize from the Jury MicroCosmo of the Verona prison. Faced with the truth, one cannot hide, in the historical evidence as in the individual experiences that determine it. Knowledge with awareness does not allow for loopholes, on pain of inner suffering; a need for pacification emerges even accepting the price of disadvantages in the immediate. It is a path that begins with recognition of the victims. They wait to be honored, recognized in their dignity. This film leads to linger on the unsolved matters carried inside for some time, both as individuals and as a community. We need to explore our own private wars in order to develop our conscience and put ourselves on the line to build peace: this is liberation. In Rudar, the father's sense of human and emotional responsibility is renewed and takes on new forms in the social commitment of a daughter. And right there, they recognize each other. The path of consciousness from interiority leads to constructive action, for a possible new beginning.

The PAG Jury Award (Progetto Area Giovani of the Municipality of Trieste), awarded by a jury of young people aged between 18 and 35, representatives of youth associations.

Special Prize of the Cassa Rurale Vallagarina for the best film about the Alpi. From the bowels of the mountains emerge individual and collective stories that open up old wounds, in a land that has never dealt with its history. The mountain becomes a therapy for pain and a source of redemption.

Hana Slak je pretresljivo zgodbo o rudarju, ki se kot neke vrste novodobna Antigona bori za dostojen pokop žrtev povojnih pobojev, podala z izjemno mero pripovednega občutka. Njen film tako odlikujejo odličen ritem, spretna dramaturška konstrukcija, učinkovita raba glasbenih vložkov in seveda tudi delo z igralci, ki jim je brez velikih besed uspelo pokazati, da so mali posamezniki praviloma največji ljudje.

Za najboljši izbor filmov.

Režiserka kaže svojevrstno senzibilnost, talent za domiselno montažo in kreativen pristop k zvoku, skozi katerega gradi specifično atmosfero, ki daje filmu neobičajen pečat.
