The documentary SACRO GRA by Gianfranco Rosi (Italy, France) was awarded the GOLDEN LION for Best Film at the 70th Venice Film Festival, and the GRAND JURY PRIZE went to JIAOYOU by Tsai Ming-liang (Chinese Taipei, France). In SACRO GRA, Gianfranco Rosi travelled over two years in a minivan and filmed life on Rome’s giant ring road—the Grande Raccordo Anulare, or GRA, to discover the invisible worlds and possible futures harbored in this area of constant turmoil.
