Bettina Perut and Iv\u00e1n Osnovikoff\u2019s project \u201cLa Casa\u201d won the IDFA Forum Award for Best Pitch on Wednesday at the 34th edition of the Amsterdam-based documentary festival.<\/p>\n

A co-production between Chile and Germany \u2013 and currently in production \u2013 the film will focus on a time when a social revolt in Chile is unleashed and a global pandemic forces people into confinement. As the attention shifts toward the inside of a house, an unexpected multidimensional universe is revealed.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe award goes to a project that presents a unique perspective of an isolated space in a multifaceted form with nuanced sensory perception, though diverse visual and sound elements,\u201d jurors Jorge Caballero Ramos and Zane Bal\u010dus said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe seclusion becomes a background for exploration of the many layers of relationships: with one another, the nature, the neighborhood and the current social and political context of the contemporary world.\u201d
\n\u201cLa Casa\u201d is produced by the directors for Perut + Osnovikoff Ltd., and financed by CORFO, Fondo Fomento Audiovisual and Market Chile.<\/p>\n

Anna Shishova-Bogolubova\u2019s \u201cThe New Greatness\u201d was also noticed, picking up the IDFA Forum Award for Best Rough Cut. A co-production between Russia\u2019s Ethnofund, Finland\u2019s IV Films, Norway\u2019s Piraya Film AS and Croatia\u2019s Nukleus Film, it was described by the jury as a project that represents the personal struggle of individuals against repressive power. In this case, Putin\u2019s regime, \u201cdoing everything\u201d to crush the young, the free-thinking and the honest.<\/p>\n

\u201cThrough closely observing the characters, the film becomes not just a testimony of events, but turns into an important tool to speak up and disclose the injustice and violation of human rights,\u201d it was argued.<\/p>\n

Finally, the DocLab Forum Award went to \u201cContinuum VR\u201d by Daniela Maldonado, Tomas Espinosa and Paula Gempeler, an invitation to immerse oneself in the lives and territories of six transgender women sex workers.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe project we would like to commend is one that centers on creative collaboration and celebrates lives that continue to be marginalized and denied. Through the presence and communion of VR, the project shows much potential to change perspectives and we hope this support can elevate their performative ambitions in future creative exhibition,\u201d said jurors Anna Desponds, Luke W. Moody and Monique Simard about this co-production between Colombia\u2019s Aroa Studio and France\u2019s CANVAR.<\/p>\n

Each award includes a cash prize of \u20ac1,500. IDFA will conclude its 34th in person edition on Nov. 28.<\/p>\n
