‘Sensitive Content’ Wins €20,000 Top Prize at 36th Filmfest Dresden Short Film Festival
Sensitive Content (courtesy Filmfest Dresden) The German film Sensitive Content by Narges Kalhor walked away with the €20,000 Saxon Film Promotion Prize at the 36th Filmfest Dresden international short film festival in Dresden, Germany. The jury commented, “The winning film interweaves found footage, animation and sound in a skillful and precise way, taking the viewer to the scene of the action. Who is allowed to show themselves, who can act and who is denied the opportunity to look and participate? The film powerfully denounces patriarchal structures and shows the fearless struggle of women. In terms of the form and content, the jury was completely captivated from the very first second.”
