An 1814 story about the homecoming of a militia peasant and a fellow soldier, from the trenches of Chile’s war for independence has received creditable attention from the jury. Spanish film The Wealth of the World / La Riqueza del Mundo by debut director and actor Simon Farriol has received Special Mention from the Jury in the Debut Feature Film Competition Category. The jury remarks that the film has been shot like a surreal Dali-inspired reflection on the futility of war. The debut film La Riqueza del Mundo is an astonishing experience, adds the jury.
