Conjure queen utube7/29/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Carlo Gabriele Tribbioli and Federico Lodoli’s “Fragment 53” is an Italian-Swiss production examining the civil war in Liberia by means of seven interviews with surviving combatants. This year, 14 works - ranging in length from 15 to 75 minutes - were included, and the obvious “breakout” candidate was one of the longer and more conventional entrants. New:Vision’s admirable (if windily-expressed) official remit is to “insist on cinema as a form of artistic impression…a formal and methodological curiosity of paramount importance for the continued development of film and video art…Provocative and challenging, radical and borderline, poetic and abstract - and always with the courage to explore.” “Crackup” nevertheless wasn’t reckoned suitable for a slot in the main Dox:Award slate, instead contending for the New:Vision prize (how they love colons at this festival!) - both trophies coming with an identical €5,000 ($5,370) prize, commendably enough.
