The 2020 edition of the International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam (IDFA), the world's largest gathering celebrating non-fiction cinema, held its awards ceremony yesterday, both in the Vlaams Cultuurhuis De Brakke Grond and online.

The big winner of this year's festival was Firouzeh Khosrovani's Radiograph of a Family [+lee también:

, the recipient of the Award for the Best Feature-length Documentary (a cash prize of €20,000). In detail, the jury, composed of Marie-Pierre Macia, Ed Lachman, Alice Diop, Abdelkader Benali and Finn Halligan, announced the award for the Norwegian-Iranian-Swiss co-production with the following statement: “Radiograph of a Family is literally an X-ray of a family. As discontent grows with politics, many people are seeing their families divided on ideological lines. Through masterful storytelling, Khosrovani shows how history and revolution brought about the political and personal divorce of her parents, a secular father and an increasingly conservative mother. The family space changes over time due to the forces of the outside world. It’s the great accomplishment of the filmmaker that she so subtly and poetically shows how divided politics can divide a room and change it forever. The fractured body of family life is told through images, photos and enactments in such a way that the viewer, too, feels the loss.”

(Ukraine/Latvia/Germany/Qatar) earned the top prize, which was accompanied by the following jury statement: “A striking, beautifully shot and edited film that embarks on the disaster of war through a personal journey and rocks the spectator between furtive moments of joy and pain. This moving film encompasses traditions, modernity, death and the power of moving forward. This Rain Will Never Stop is a powerful story that does not allow us to escape from the destruction and heart-wrenching losses of wars.”

This year, the on-site part of the festival, held in cinemas and other venues, was almost sold out. So far, this edition of the IDFA has racked up over 62,000 online film views and welcomed more than 3,000 online guests. The 2020 edition will wrap on Sunday 6 December.
