Leandro Koch and Paloma Schachmann’s feature debut THE KLEZMER PROJECT, a Berlinale Encounters entry, wins the GWFF Best First
Feature Award.
The documentary voyage from Argentina to Eastern Europa in a quest of a music which is in a constant state of flux was produced
by Austrian Nabis Filmgroup and Cine Nevada from Argentina.
This is the statement of the jury composed by Judith Revauld d'Alonnes, Ayten Amin and Cyril Schäublin:
The GWFF Best First Feature Award goes to a film that takes us on an unexpected journey weaving real life events and mysticism.
It is a contemporary tale frequently surprising with the filmmaker’s openness towards new encounters. The film uncovers traces
of a disappearing world and shows that music descends borders of identity. The award goes to Adentro mío estoy bailando by
Leandro Koch and Paloma Schachmann.
