We are really proud that Les Heures-Encre was nominated as Best Graduation Film for the Swiss Film Award.
All the nominated films are going to be shown in Zurich and Geneva during the nominees week, March 18 – 24.
Les Heures-Encre won the Foreign Visa Prize at the Fribourg International Film Festival. Supported by the organisation E-CHANGER and Fribourg Solidaire, the prize was awarded by a jury of guests from the New Territory section: Mongolia. It’s a an honor to get this prize at home!
Les Heures-Encre won the Prix de la Francophonie and got two honorable mentions at the Festival Un Poing C’est Court in Vaulx-en-Velin. It’s its first award this year and hopefully not the last one!
Les Heures-Encre had a great success this Fall and we are really happy having the film travelling around the world.
It was shown in Paris at the Festival des Signes de Nuit where it got the Edward Snowden Award. This award honors films, which offer sensible (mostly) unknown informations, facts and phenomenons of eminent importance, for which the festival wishes a wide proliferation in the future.
Jury statement: For having treated the difficult topic of suicide at work, that concerns the working organisation’s bases in its new forms of exploitation and domination, transforming workers in victims and executioner, we give the Snowden award to Black hours by Wendy Pillonel.
