UNICA 2005 - THE AWARDS
It seems we were a generous jury compared with many previous ones. We honestly thought there were a great many good movies, though - as usual - only a handful stood head-and-shoulders above the rest.

The coveted award for "most interesting national programme" came down to a choice between UK and Germany. To the susprise of some, we Brits applauded enthusiastically when the decision went to:
At the end of the festival the jury members were presented with cases of Belgian beer. Then followed a banquet and celebration with live music. In his 80's Britain's Percy Childs rocked with Belgium's Martine de Boll. That summed up UNICA for me - a place of surprises, where people from various nations get together to have fun.
