New Jersey: Swiss short film "Down this Road" honored
Vinz Feller's short film «Down this Road» won the Stellar Award for Fiction at the 30th Black Maria Film Festival in New Jersey (USA).
The Swiss competition entry was praised for being strongly reminiscent of Truffaut's narrative style, regardless of its actual story.
In "Down this Road", 12-year-old Rodney travels across New York in search of his father in order to claim his love. The short film, which was produced by the two advertisers Ivan Madeo and Urs Frey (Twin Productions and Contrast Film), celebrated its world premiere at the Solothurn Film Festival. In the USA, the winning film is now going on a six-month tour with over 70 cinema screenings along with a selection of other short films.
