Image; I am Not a Witch, winner at the Adelaide Film Festival.
The jury for the Adelaide Film Festival’s international competition has been spotted in various intense huddles around the festival, and at one basement bar where they determinedly refused to talk about their deliberations.
Two of them, Miranda Dear now of Blackfella Films and NZ producer Catherine Martin are known to Australians. The international spice and diversity came from Portuguese director João Pedro Rodrigues, who won at Locarno for The Ornithologist, Afghani actress and UN Peace Ambassador Leena Alam, and Martin Rabarts who runs EYE International which promotes Dutch Cinema.
