IDFA FIPRESCI Award 2024 for WRITING HAWA by Najiba Noori - congrats to the whole team ✨🙏

TAG Film Writing Hawa First Hand Films

The FIPRESCI Award goes to Writing Hawa by Najiba Noori.

The jury: “The director of the winning film was inspired by the urgency of the local situation that had the greatest influence on the future of the protagonists, who are close members of her family. The film gives us an essential insider testimony from a territory where freedoms are at stake, especially for women.”

Congratulations to director Luuk Bouwman and the team behind THE PROPAGANDIST 🙌

Best Dutch Film Award at IDFA 2024 ✨

HUMAN Film Harbour

The IDFA Award for Best Dutch Film goed to Luuk Bouwman for The Propagandist.

The jury: “How is it even possible, you wonder, with everything that has been written, filmed, or expressed in any other form, related to the WWII era in the Netherlands, this specific story is only just now fully being exposed to a bigger audience?
This documentary shows us a part of history; one that has been deliberately forgotten and could only become visible, and therefore examined, interpreted, and remembered, because image and sound were preserved.

For the riveting examination of the horrifying pages of Dutch history, as well as the history of WWII-era European cinema, and for the immense research, documentation, and the outstanding use of archival material, the jury would like to bestow the 2024 IDFA Award for the Best Dutch Film to Luuk Bouwman’s documentary The Propagandist.
