This year the “Best of Fests Accolades” will be remitted by Bruno Chatelin to My Life as a Zucchini and his producer Max Karli (Rita Productions); for Seoul Station to Yejin Jeon (Finecut Co. ltd.) She will receive her prize from Sheree Ramage APSA Asia Pacific Screen Awards.

These prizes recognise the positive values and messages in movies that matter and make us grow as human beeings. The inspiration came to Bruno Chatelin from his Columbia TriStar days (Sony) when David Puttnam initiated that catch line for the Studio he was running.
“Bruno Chatelin commented: listening to David’s vision, it struck me a lot at this time, , and I think that today’s world needs even more films of these calibers. I am also impressed to see Cannes welcome such initiatives as Positive Cinema week, Better World Forum, Festival Sacred for Beauty, with Wim Wenders in town with Mgnr Dario Vigano (prefect of communication for Vatican) coming to Cannes with a message from the pope.”
