The press conference announcing the results of the various jury decisions was this afternoon.
We have chosen to offer this year's SIGNIS prize to the Chinese film Addicted to Love.
This is from the official press release:
"The SIGNIS prize," said the Jury "went to this film which was set amidst the contradictions of the changing China; this is a family tale of a lonely grandfather coming to terms with the new way of life. His addiction to taking care of his family and others overflows, allowing him to nurture a new relationship with a woman suffering from illness."
"Liu Hao," stressed the Jury "with tenderness, delicacy and humor, models for us through the main character how it is possible to work our way to happiness. This film addresses the hardships and struggles that all families share."
