Cause Of Death : Unknown

 


Cause Of Death : Unknown
Annicken Hoel

Norway
2017 / 01:00:00

After her sister died suddenly and unexpectedly while being treated with prescription antipsychotics, director Anniken Hoel begins a global investigation into the crimes of the pharmaceutical industry, the unheralded growth of psychiatric diagnoses and medication, and the corruption of the government regulatory agencies that have failed, repeatedly, to protect us. Made over a ten-year period, the film is simultaneously personal and investigative as it follows Anniken as she seeks answers regarding not only the death of her sister, but of the tens of thousands worldwide who have also met a similar fate. Deaths and damages that until now have been all but ignored. Beginning in a small town in Norway, and journeying through Scandinavia, the EU and the US, the chilling documentary-thriller CAUSE OF DEATH: UNKNOWN exposes the inner workings and motivations of a powerful industry that continually puts profits before people, and has been far too influential in defining who is normal and who is "ill".

In 1962, the speleologist Michel Siffre decided to spend two months near an underground glacier with no way to mark time. There, his mind teeters, his perceptions transform and he begins an inner journey filled with memories and hallucinations.


 

 

 

 

Jury Statement :
For the use of montage and edition techniques to create a visual reflection of such a subtle notion, as time, with powerful, esthetical, and also enigmatic results. A film that comes back to your mind again and again after you see it.

The Magnitsky Act - Behind the Scenes the magnitsky
Andrey Nekrasov

 The Night Award for Documentary hounors films, which represent reality in an ambivalent and enigmatic way, avoiding stereotypes of representation and simple conclusions.




The Magnitsky Act

 


The Magnitsky Act - Behind the Scenes the magnitsky
Andrey Nekrasov
Finlande, Denmark, Norvège
2016 | 2:05:00


What started as a drama about a Russian police plot to steal a billion dollars from a US financier and to murder his faithful tax lawyer Sergei Magnitsky, has become a real life investigation of contradicting versions of the crime. The Magnitsky Case is central for the policy of blacklisting bad guys from Putin's Russia ("Magnitsky List"), which was then adopted by the West in retaliation for Russia's actions in Ukraine. Shockingly for the film's director, dissident and Putin basher Andrei Nekrasov, the official Western story turns out to have serious flaws.


The Jury Statement :
For its compromise to show the complexity of financial and political world, that somehow has the power to affect all of us. Also is remarkable the effort of the director to remain honest to the facts, no matter what, confronting not only the audience but also the main characters of the film with the real facts. A court case become the mirror of global problematics.
