BLESS YOU! wins DOC ALLIANCE AWARD

The first ever Doc Alliance Award – Best Short Film went to BLESS YOU! (Zdrastvuyte!), directed by Tatiana Chistova and nominated by Millennium Docs Against Gravity. (...) The jury stated that Bless You! “captures the feeling of anxiety, isolation, boredom and confusion in the pandemic and finds a very simple, but powerful and honest way to do it.”
Congratulations to Tatiana Chistova and writer/producer Maciej Hamela of Impakt Films! The winners are, along with a selection of the nominees, available on Doc Alliance’s platform, DAFilms.com, until 18 July 2021.
