Success for the 32-year-old director Bernie Forster from Winterthur: he won the main prize "Grand Prix Victoria" at the 23rd International Business Film Festival in Vienna with his film "Selma!
The film, which the young director produced on behalf of the Geneva-based "Association mondiale pour l'école instrument de paix (EIP)" for a DVD on the subject of human rights, is about a young woman who is unable to find an apprenticeship. According to the jury, the film impresses with the "lively and lively verbal interludes" of the lead actress Selma, played by Nadine Landert. Director Bernie Forster also succeeded in drawing attention to the Charter of Human Rights with his wit and quick wit. The editing and music also impressed the jury. "Selma!" had already won gold at the Swiss Edi commissioned film award last November.
The 23rd edition of the International Business Film Festival took place in Vienna on April 8 and 9, 2008. Among the nominated films were 41 German productions, five films from Switzerland and 18 Austrian business films.
