S\u00e3o Paulo \u2013 Bras\u00edlia\u2019s short film \u201cPunishment\u201d won the best film award at Algeria\u2019s Digital Gate International Film Festival (DGIFF<\/a>). Directed by Iago Kieling, the film also won the best actor award for L\u00facio Campello.<\/p>\n

The 16-minute short film was directed by 23-year-old Kieling, and this was his first film. He told ANBA it is a reinterpretation of Crime and Punishment<\/em> by Russian author Dostoevsky. \u201cBut it\u2019s not an adaptation, it\u2019s just a reinterpretation of the setting and characters adapted to our reality in Brazil and our perspective,\u201d he told ANBA.<\/p>\n

The protagonist has no lines, and the movie have only four short dialogues. \u201cHe\u2019s a carpenter and is reliving traumas from the past, dealing with poverty and the disease he seems to have. A dying man, he ends up having a breakdown and remembers things from the past. The film is a portrait of the protagonist from a psychoanalytic perspective of his relationship with his mother, his childhood and the traumas affecting how he relates to the female figure,\u201d Kieling says. It features scenes from the past and the present in a non-linear order, metaphors, and the director plays with the real, the unreal and even the surreal.<\/p>\n
