      Reconstructing Memories
      "The film to which we chose to give the Golden Athena Award for Best Short Film moved us deeply in a way that only the art of cinema can do. In this area of silence, speech is not so important to analyze a film because the sensations and feelings it has evoked in you cannot be put into words. A film that paradoxically and daringly mixes its materials creating a hybrid but completely personal universe that connects metaphysical enlightenment with the light captured on film shouting out loud, yes, cinema is our church".
