Critic Jury Awards
By
a majority of votes the jury decides: “Not having found a film of
absolute values, they point, however, the promising effort of the young
film makers and, in particular, the one of Rodolfo Kuhn in Los jóvenes viejos (Argentina),
where it can be discovered a true attention to the spirit of a sector
of his country’s new generation and towards the cinematographic
language problems; and they mention among the short films, for its
style and imagination, La lunga calza verde by Roberto Gavioli y Cesare Zavattini (Italy) |
