(Iraq/Palestine/UK), produced by May Odeh, with its award. In their accompanying statement, the jury members said: “We were impressed by the quality of the selection, and we were glad to discover societies we have never been confronted with. We were struck by the original and genuine way the directors told their stories. After a long and passionate discussion, we have chosen to award Hanging Gardens. First of all, because of the story: a very dramatic subject supported by truly strong and captivating characters. We were really amazed by the courage of the director and of the producer in bringing to the screen such a delicate and difficult topic, and how Ahmed Al Daradji managed to drive us into this underworld.”

Meanwhile, the “jury of the supporters” of the ninth edition of Final Cut in Venice decided to lend their support to the post-production of Erige Sehiri’s Under the Fig Trees [+lee también:
