For the originality of the story told, the accurate documenting of gathering and editing of extraordinary visual material, for the evocative reflection on modern society in Ethipia and beyond.

For the intensity of a female portrait which combines a homage to maternal love with its unyielding courage. For the subtle irony, capable of revealing small-mindedness and violence of masculine fanaticism and misogyny in Taleban fighting, thus launching the long fight for the emancipation of Afghan women.

For its ability to carefully deal with themes such as desertion and post-traumatic stress disorder from a soldier’s point of view. Paralysis and the sense of impotence generated in him also highlight the positive role of women, able to face up to difficulties and prejudice in a traditional society.

For the ability to deal with such a complex theme such as that of ISIS recruitment in a way which is accessible by everyone, creating an intriguing suspense which keeps you rooted to the screen and makes the ending of the film particularly effective and incisive. The film represents an important reflection on the thin line that separates each of us from fundamentalism.

Perfectly balanced between despair and reflection, "A new home" in an unusual reversal of style and gravity tells the tale of forced migration. The aim is not that of revealing the fear of those arriving but instead that of those who welcome the migrants whether provoked or self-induced. A contribution technically well-made on a topical issue – that of migration – which requires new and more efficient narrative approaches capable of reaching a wider audience, often distracted and even hostile.

In very few enjoyable minutes, rich in stylistic citations, the film touches on some of the key themes of the phenomenon of migration: prejudices, stereotypes, welcome, dialogue, work and, naturally, the need for a home. A "concentrated" appetizer served with an effective dose of humour, with a nod to the youngest viewers whom this film can teach a lot.

For being able to develop a complex topical subject such as racial prejudice and the welcoming of refugees with depth, yet without lingering too long or overstepping the mark by taking sides, which might result in a useless debate. The film is a valid instrument for reflecting on integration which has as its aim respect for differences and the promotion of human dignity. All this with excellent technical and expressive resolution.

For the light-hearted and amusing way in which the filmmaker has managed to tell a story about dialogue and understanding between two religious cultures too often in disagreement, but with a tradition of respect and tolerance which augurs well for the future.
