Art-tv.ch awards Swiss film pearl
For the seventh time, Art-tv.ch presented the Swiss Film Pearl award as part of the Locarno Film Festival. One of the winning films tells whimsical stories set in Swiss allotment gardens, while the other is a spine-chilling Alpine saga.
A jury put together by the Association of Swiss Film Critics selected "Our Garden" by Mano Khalil as the best documentary film. The jury chose "Sennentuntschi" by Michael Steiner as the best feature film. As part of a "pearl dinner", to which around fifty people from the film industry were invited, Art-tv.ch also awarded two honorary pearls to personalities who are particularly committed to promoting Swiss film culture. The Pearl of Honor was awarded to Francine Brücher and André Chevailler.
