| 3. |  THE 23RD AUGUST AT 0.17AM Mark Auerbach (Germany) A racist thug is charged with a firebomb attack on a family of asylum seekers. That is only the start of an emotionally charged drama with imaginative filming in de-saturated colour and courageously unrushed editing. This film contains violence and strong language. Diamond, Best Editing, BIAFF 2011 |
