More award success for film about the River Foyle

A new film about the River Foyle has won another award.

‘Tides – A History of Lives and Dreams Lost and Found (Some Broken)’ has won several prestigious awards on the international film festival circuits.

It has won its fourth award since its release, winning the Special Mention Award at the international “On The Road Film Festival” in Rome.

The jury praised Tides for “Best protagonist: the river”.

Derry-based film director Alessandro Negrini, who attended the award ceremony said that he is ‘touched and so glad to see how this little story about a far away river can translate into other people lives, making them think about their lives, and yes, their dreams.’

“‘Tides’, is a dreamlike and visionary portrait of the River Foyle in Northern Ireland, where the story is narrated from the point of view of the river: the river becomes the protagonist, telling us its autobiography,” he said.

The film recently won the Special Mention Award for Best Film at Milan International Film Festival.

It also won Best Cinematography Award at Sole Luna Film Festival in Palermo and Best Film Soundtrack at Treviso Doc Festival, receiving so far four awards and six nominations since its release last June.
