Awards
Winner | 2005 | Locarno Film Festival | Silver Leopard | Eddy Géradon-Luyckx, Donato Rotunno, Eric Tavitian, Yilmaz Arslan, Fratricide
Winner | 2005 | Locarno Film Festival | Special Mention | Xevat Gectan, Fratricide | For his outstanding performance.
Nominee | 2005 | Locarno Film Festival | Youth Jury Award | Yilmaz Arslan, Fratricide | Two young people escape their native Turkey for a better life but come up against the same problems that forced them to leave their native country: principally that of the Turkish-Kurdish conflict. The violence that breaks out is not justifiable but also cannot be condemned. The profound message of the film is this : the impossibility to draw a line between what is right and what is wrong. The director puts this complex problem under the lens, without sentimentality and with a sustained rhythm. The non-professional actors understood how to express the pain, pushing the spectator to reflect on these themes.
Winner | 2005 | Locarno Film Festival | Prize of the Ecumenical Jury - Special Mention | Yilmaz Arslan, Fratricide | FRATRICIDE provocatively confronts the burning European question of refugees. The setting is Germany, the people the Kurds. Yilmaz Arslan combines a complex plot about two brothers with scenes of visceral violence as well as a tender picture of caring friendship. His film is both an accusation against racism and neglect and a plea for common humanity and decency.
