EN TERRAINS CONNUS
FAMILIAR GROUNDS (En terrains connus) awarded in Berlin !
PRIZE OF THE ECUMENICAL JURY – Forum section
“This film is structurally original in showing how "accidents" can alter human relationships. It is innovative in drawing warm and human comic moments out of an alienated world where relationships are fragile. Its dialogue is sparse and well-controlled, and the soundtrack integrates very effectively with the film's visual imagery.”
