Almost a year after his debut at the Venice Festival, the Brazilian film are still here, directed by Walter Salles, has reached another significant milestone in his international career. The production was awarded as the best Ibero-American film in the nineteenth edition of the AS Sur Surw, held on Wednesday (23 July) at the General Theater of Del Libertador San Martín in Cordoba, Argentina.
The victory marks the debut of the category in the prizes, organized by the Academy of Artistic and cinematographic sciences of Argentina. Therefore, the film becomes the first historical winner of the new section, adding the 47th trophy of his career. Previously, the work had already been recognized with prestigious prizes, such as the Oscar for the best international film and the Golden Globe for the best dramatic actress for Fernanda Torres.
Walter Salles did not participate in the ceremony in Cordoba, but sent a video in which he thanked the recognition and praised Argentine cinema. “This prize is an honor for all of us who have made this film. For Fernanda Torres, Fernanda Montenegro, each of the actors and technicians who made this film possible,” said the director in his thanksgiving speech.
In the same registration, the director underlined the importance of the winning production of the prize and its central theme. “We share a profound admiration for Argentine cinema, their extraordinary actors and directors, for their incredible screenwriters, producers and craftsmen of immense talents,” he said. He therefore commented on the symbolism of the conquest by strengthening that the film deals with “memory and resistance in dark times, two territories that Argentine cinema usually explores”. He ended saying: “Long live in the cinema and democracy Argentina!”
In fact, the international recognition of the function was frequent. In addition to the prizes already won, they are still appointed here in 15 categories in the Great Otello Award, the main honor of Brazilian cinema, whose ceremony will be held next Wednesday (30 July). The film will also compete for the Lihuén Prize in Chile, always in the category of the best Iber-American film on August 14th.
Although it was not physically present, the absence of Walter Salles did not obscure the impact of achievement. The critical acclamation and accumulated prizes reflect not only the technical quality of the work, but also its thematic range and socio -cultural relevance.
With a sensitive direction and script that deal with topics such as belonging and memory, the film has consolidated as one of the main Brazilian productions of the decade, collecting distinctions and raising the name of national cinema in international circuits.
