<\/p>\nHuesca International Film Festival closes a successful 44th edition with the publication of the awarded short films of the three contests: International, Iberoamerican and Documentary. Out of the 79 competing short films coming from 24 different countries, Houvast won in the international category, while at the Iberoamerican contest it was Rosinha, by the Brazilian Gui Campos, which achieved the Danzante Award. With the recognition of Huesca Festival, both works have been thus directly shortlisted for the Oscar Awards. At the Documentary Contest, it has also been a Dutch production, 9 Days from my Window in Aleppo, which got the highest award.<\/p>\n
Scott-Wilson\u2019s work has also been highlighted by the Jury because of her \u2018right choice of shots that tell the main character\u2019s fight inviting the audience to share that experience with her\u2019. A jury consisting of Clermont-Ferrand Festival founder, Georges Bollon, producer and animation expert Jos\u00e9 Luis Farias and the actress Ruth N\u00fa\u00f1ez, they also wanted to distinguish another Dutch work -Zeezucht by Marlies van der Wel- with the Jinete Ib\u00e9rico Award to Best Short Film, for \u2018making our hearts smile thanks to the poetic mise en scene of a perfect story\u2019. This award was a novelty of this edition, since it was the first time animation short films had a prize of their own. The Francisco Garc\u00eda de Paso Award for best work to stand out the defence of human values, goes to the German short film The Culprit by Michael Rittmannsberger. In this contest, jury members have also decided to award a special mention to Down by Love, by the Spaniard Jos\u00e9 Corral, for its original mise en scene with a skeleton crew.<\/p>\n
