  • NIFFF 2019: the 19TH EDITION at the CROSSROADS of IMAGINATION the Neuchâtel International Fantastic Film Festival (NIFFF) Compl
    NIFFF - Press release, 20.06.2019 NIFFF 2019: THE 19TH EDITION AT THE CROSSROADS OF IMAGINATION The Neuchâtel International Fantastic Film Festival (NIFFF) completely embraces the possibilities of alterity in its ambitious programme for the 19th edition, which will take place from July 5th to July 13th. The competition will champion the universality of imagination by gathering visionary creators from all over the world in the thousand- year-old city. Films in the International Competition will compete for the H.R. Giger Narcisse award (CHF 10,000), granted by the City of Neuchâtel. This year’s selection highlights the incredible dynamism of contemporary fantasy films, a genre that still holds a special place for master filmmakers and newcomers alike. Genre cinema is a bottomless well of rejuvenation and diversity, which invites the audience to step out of its comfort zone to understand today’s world. The gripping vision of emerging European auteurs (THE LODGE, Veronika Franz and Se- verin Fala; THE HOLE IN THE GROUND, Lee Cronin; YVES, Benoît Forgeard; THE ROOM, Christian Volckler) will rub shoulders with the American indie film scene (SOMETHING ELSE, Jeremy Gardner and Christian Stell; KNIVES AND SKIN, Jennifer Reeder; DANIEL ISN’T REAL, Adam Egypt Mortimer). As an international event, the festival also focuses on fantasies from Asia with a high-quality competition – NEW CINEMA FROM ASIA –, and from Africa with the retrospective REFLECTIONS OF SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA, in the presence of exceptional guests such as Ghanean afrobeat duo FOKN BOIS and film- maker Pierre-Alain Meier. The EL DORADO section will showcase three gems from Latin America, including the masterpiece MONOS directed by Alejandro Landes (winner of the Sundance Jury Prize).

The jury said it was chosen, "For its true-to-life depiction of a young woman's quest to find meaning and hope in a world that has constantly disappointed her." This award carries a cash prize of $30,000 and a custom award, sponsored by Canada Goose®. THE PRIZES OF THE INTERNATIONAL FEDERATION OF FILM CRITICS (FIPRESCI PRIZES) For the 27th year, the Festival welcomed an international FIPRESCI jury. This year's jury is comprised of Jury President Lesley Chow (Australia), Andrés Nazarala (Chile), Astrid Jansen (Belgium), Pierre Pageau (Canada), James Slotek (Canada), and Viswanath Subrahmanyan (India). The Prize of the International Federation of Film Critics (FIPRESCI) for the Discovery programme is awarded to Carmel Winters for Float Like a Butterfly, which the jury called "a pastoral and traditional bucolic film, capturing the familiar angst and anxiety a young adult woman undergoes in order to have her say in the scheme of things in a predominately male-driven patriarchal society." "Through her spectacular and deft narrative, nuanced understanding of the dilemmas women face, and a pitch- perfect performance by Hazel Doupe, this film is a triumph of free spirit." Honourable mention goes to Laura Luchetti's Twin Flower.
