STUDENT AWARD 2018 for FAST ALLES in Leiden

The bachelor degree film 2017 by Lisa Gertsch was honored with the STUDENT AWARD at the LISFE - Leiden International Short Film Experience. Jury statement: "Magnificently well-acted, and exceptionally brilliant in terms of rhythm and narrative tension span, and a score that brought it all home, this film stole the heart of all jury members. The film narrates the story of two people on a path together. The undercurrents of emotions are covered by the at times bland, fearful, joyous, and harsh reality of everyday life. The film pays tribute to the fragility of life - but not of love."

"ALMOST EVERYTHING" by Lisa Gertsch wins in Hannover the Int. Young Film Makers Award 2017

The Jury says: Lisa Gertsch's FAST ALLES is a confident, mature film that addresses a dramatic situation — that of dementia — with great sensibility, lightness and humor through exquisite active and natural cinematography. An honest, humble film, FAST ALLES is able of leading the audience into the core of its two characters' bare love and humanity

Begründung der Jury: Ein Film, der uns mit seinem Wechselspiel zwischen Witz und Schönheit auf der einen und Tragik auf der anderen Seite auf feinfühlige Art und Weise die Geschichte von Entfremdung, Abschiednehmen, Fremdbestimmung wie auch von der Beständigkeit und Kraft der Liebe mit grosser Feinfühligkeit erzählt.
