For the 2019 edition of the Plural+ Video Festival, COPEAM has assigned its special prize to the animation film W.A.L.L.S. by Anwaar Shawabkeh (Jordan), for its good technical quality and the message conveyed against racism.
The video witnesses that only when we meet and really get to know the Other, we realise that cultural, social, ethnical and religious barriers always do only exist in our minds. The words we express can strongly affect our perception of the Other and that of our neighbours, thus becoming – each of them – an insuperable brick of a non-existent wall.
As in the past, the winner took part in the annual Conference of COPEAM to present the winning work.
