Romanian short film 'One Night in Tokoriki' awarded at the Berlinale

Roxana Stroe's O noapte in Tokoriki (One Night in Tokoriki) got the Special Prize of the Generation 14plus International Jury for the Best Short Film at the 66th Berlinale - the Berlin International Film Festival. 

The jury of the youth film competition motivated its choice on the official website of the event, www.berlinale.de as follows: "For its idiosyncratic tone of voice and superb craft and storytelling, this film manages to playfully depict a heartfelt but urgent message. With humorous mise-en-scene, no dialogue and an ironic use of music the film tells a brilliantly engaging story about unacceptable love in rural Europe and its repercussions." 

In the Generation 14plus competition, the Crystal Bear for the Best Film went to Es esmu seit (Mellow Mud) by Renars Vimba (Latvia), and the Crystal Bear for the Best Short Film to Balcony by Toby Fell-Holden (Great Britain). AGERPRES
