'Raticida' awarded with the 1st Danzante Iberoamericano Prize.
'Raticida', by João Niza Ribeiro, was awarded with the 1st Danzante Iberoamericano Prize at the 51st Huesca International Film Festival, which took place between 9 and 17 June in this Spanish city. This is an 'Oscar Qualifying' festival, and 'Raticida' is thus nominated for the Oscar Academy Short List pre-selection.
"For its great cinematographic quality, a coordinated mise-en-scène that links compositions, staging and acting cadences in a very precise way. For the striking portrait of a marginal universe where the current socio-political context of the migration issue in Europe is integrated in an organic and necessary way."
