The best European TV Movie at Prix Europa: Memo by István Tasnádi
Change language:
The film Memo by the writer-director István Tasnádi was chosen the best European TV Movie reported by webradio.hu. The award was given to the movie during the Prix Europa festival that is the largest annual tri-medial festival in Europe. The annually organised event in Berlin takes place in the 3rd week of October and awards the best European Television, Radio and Online productions in 14 different categories.
The winner of the TV Movie category, István Tasnádi revealed that in Europe more than 100 movies were nominated in this category, from which only 22 got into the final. From the best works it was the jury, composed of the creators themselves, who chose the winner. The writer-director further noted that, after watching the films of each other, they argued about them for some time and then voted for the best, in the end.
The director explained that the movie, Memo, which was released last year, is his 1st movie and is only at its start in the series of festivals. He hopes, however, that it will be displayed in many places that would prompt new festival invitations.
Tasnádi was totally surprised by being awarded the prize and joyfully admitted that there is in fact a great need for these types of awards to draw some attention to a movie that is somehow different from others, more unique, representing other values. Moreover, an awarded movie gets always more attention than a movie that is just displayed on a channel for a few times.
