“The biggest winner of the fiction strand was Fadia, staged by Cinema Virgin and hailing from Palestine and Israel. Shady Srour’s drama, which centres on a young woman targeted in the name of “family honour” and rescued after a brutal act of violence, won Best Film and the Jury Special Prize, while Yara Jarrar was named Best Actress for her performance in the title role.”

”…The biggest hype was about Fadia, an Israelian-Palestinian film, in this order first Israel then Palestine, financed after all with Israeli money from faxes going into film funds, both Palestinian-Israeli director Shadi Srour and his Israeli producer confirmed.
Shadi had to come 3 times on stage, and after receiving the third award he was joking " you meanwhile know me". The film convinced jury president Lesley Manville and her fellow members of the jury, and it was a pretty much unanimous decision Lesley Manville told me in the interview.”
