🏆BEST PHOTOGRAPHY
The photography captures the characters, their poses, the atmospheres of the desert with simple but extremely calibrated images, creating an internal movement always measured on the size of the characters and giving aesthetic unity to the story of the film without distractions.
🏆 BEST DIRECTION
For the ability to create an excellent mix of images, sounds and characters, providing a complete picture of a forgotten region. The director knew the answer to the fundamental question of directing: where to place the camera and above all at what distance.
Congratulations Close Up Films 👏
🥁So proud of Boubacar Sangare and the new award for A GOLDEN LIFE 🏆 THE BEST DOCUMENTARY at @redlinefilmfestival 🏆
JURY’S MOTIVATION. A scene from Dante’s Hell. Thousands of men and young boys descending into the dark bowels of the world in search for gold. Filmed over four months in Burkina Faso by Boubacar Sangaré, we are immediately immersed in this parallel society, a life of nothing but hope. Home is a makeshift cabin or tent. Generators and drills never stop, belching toxic fumes. Landslides of mud waiting to bury those below. Day is night, night is day. And yet, the camera’s view is clean, honest, tender – a marvel, as if seen through the innocent eyes of a child. It’s the normality that strikes us. The director’s technical ability to adapt is astonishing, reminding us of Rossellini’s great talent for capturing the unexpected.
