Arcana wins the Docúpolis Award to the best Documentary Docúpolis 06
15.000 spectators have visited the 6th edition of Docúpolis that has finished today with the awards delivery of the sections in contest and honorific awards.
The documentary by Cristóbal Vicente Arcana has won the Docúpolis Award to the Best Documentary endowed with 6.000 euros. Arcana is an intismist portrait, contemplative and poetic that brings us near to a subjective experience and to the quotidianity of the prisoners in the antique penal establishment of Valparaíso, Chile. According to the jury, Vicente has realised a committed and critical documentary with a big expressive strength and a careful mise en escene. However, this year’s jury formed by Mercedes Álvarez, Montserrat Santamarina and Bru Rovira, have decided to give an especial mention to El Color de los Olivos by Carolina Rivas for its use of the sound, because the minimal sound elements she works with are converted in key elements to understand the confinement and loneliness universe of a Palestinian family. + info
