Polish filmmaker Michał Marczak’s “Closure,” which follows a father’s obsessive search for his vanished son and its devastating aftermath, won the Golden Alexander at the Thessaloniki Intl. Documentary Festival on Sunday.
An International Competition jury comprised of film editor Dana Bunescu, curator, programmer, producer and creative executive Caroline Libresco and producer Yorgos Papalios handed the festival’s top prize to a film “that mobilizes cinema to the fullest degree, giving us the experience of being one with the interior life of a father in an impossible state, and making something radically present out of absence.”
