Visions de Reel: ’Paradise,’ ‘Malintzin 17,’ ‘Reas‘ Win Big at Industry Awards

Alexander Abaturov’s “Paradise,” Eugenio and Mara Polgovsky’s “Malintzin 17” and Lola Arias’ “Reas” triumphed at the 2020 Visions du Réel Industry Awards, taking three of its weightiest prizes.

Most of the 13 prizes comprise services or further festival invites. As smaller art-house companies face cashflow problems in much of the world, and need to look towards countries which look set to ride the COVID-19 crisis best – France, Germany and Switzerland, for example – any prize is currently mannah from heaven.

Awards can go also some way to fill financing voids. The RTS Prix Perspectives d’un Doc 2020, won by Daniel Wyss’ “In the Name of Roses,” about the exploitative global rose business, is a “pretty important” award since RTS, Switzerland’s French-language public broadcaster, does not have development financing for documentaries, RTS’ Gaspard Lamunière sad at the Industry Awards’ online ceremony.

Also sparking great word-of-mouth, “Malintzin 17,” the tale of loving but ruptured parental nurture – a father-filmmaker and his five-year old daughter; a nesting Incan dove – and quiet aghastment at contemporary society, caught in vignettes of urban nature and urban life, emerged as the only title to secure two prizes, one the Visions Sud Est Award, which guarantees distribution in Switzerland.

Among project winners, one of Pitching du Réel’s most singular titles, Vienna-set female-centric comedy “A Little Love Package” marks the latest installment of social irony from Argentina’s Gaston Solnicki .
