Cinema and Video
Fabrica has co-produced a number of films and videos that competed at the
leading international film festivals, in order to support and encourage
independent voices from the "rest of the world" (particularly Africa,
the Arab world, Asia, Latin America).
The Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film awarded to No Man's Land by D. Tanovic
is the crowning achievement of this work that, under the direction of Marco
Müller, with Fabrica's production facility, achieved a string of successes in
the world's major cinema festivals. Among Fabrica Cinema's many successes are
the UNESCO prize for "Mud" by the Turkish director D. Zaim (Venice
2003), the FIPRESCI Award for "Angel on the right" by D. Usmonov,
(London 2002), the Silver Lion for Best Director to B. Payami for "Secret
Ballot" (Venice 2001), the Jury Prize for "Blackboards" by S.
Makhmalbaf (Cannes 2000) and the Silver Lion for Best Director to Z. Yuan for
"Seventeen Years" (Venice 1999).
