“Listen to Her” (China) was given the gold award and “The Two Of Us” (USA) the bronze award.
The short film as stated by the director during the discussion at the 10th CFF/Film Festival of Chania is a critique of “live in the moment” and “life is moments”, views that lead through the fragmentation of thought and life, to the fragmentedness of the ephemeral, to the denial of great narratives and to holophobia, to end up in the outdated more than life positions for the end of history.
