The jury of IFFR Competition, headed by Toronto Festival director Piers Handling, honored our film DIE UNERZOGENEN (THE UNPOLISHED) by Pia Marais with the VPRO TIGER AWARD. The international Competition contained 15 films by first or second-time directors. (other equal Tiger went to “Love Conquers All” and third tiger was split between “Bog Of Beasts” and “Afr”). The jurors commended Pia Marais’ film "for its nuanced portrayal of a young girl trying to find meaning in a society that has lost all sense of direction. Her instinctive search to better herself gives the film its emotive power. The filmmaker is also highly adept at creating a disturbing and unsettled reality assisted by the highly gifted performance of the young girl and her parents" Congratulation and a big hug to Pia Marais and the entire cast and crew!
