An international jury overview the sections of short films coming from all over the world. We prefer documentaries which succeed in representing the complexity of reality and discover in a new way its sensible and perturbing aspects on the same time accentuating the ambivalent and enigmatic status of reality in avoiding sterotypes and simplifing conclusions.

You are too emotional and lacking in realism, it’s true I’m not the realistic sort.

The Road : a story of life and death

Marc Issacs
Great Britain
2012 | 1:15:00


The road in Marc Isaacs's highly engagingdocumentary is the A5, the 300-mile Roman legacy connecting Holyhead to Marble Arch. Isaacs installed his camera at various points to record its many travellers: marching Muslims, Buddhist monks seeking nirvana in Colindale, an alcoholic ex-navvy, whose loneliness is horribly compelling and rarely observed this honestly. As proposed by his 2001 doc Lift – which sought out characters in a tower block – Isaacs may be British cinema's pre-eminent people person, locating strangeness, melancholy and joy in the urban landscape, and those who inhabit it. Almost every subject might have merited their own film, but the brisk diversity is central to what emerges as a subtly pointed, humorous and, above all, humane contribution to the immigration debate: the road has been retraced as a lifeline, pumping fresh blood into the city's heart.
