...and the Audience Award goes to:
One of the goals of the DR Environmental Film Festival is to raise awareness and educate the audiences. To this purpose the II DREFF introduced the Audience Award. In asking the audience to engage in the process, a better understanding and appreciation of the film is set in motion, taking the experience beyond the fact of watching a movie: the attention rises and, slowly, individuals start expanding their perception and understanding. The Audience Award is also an excellent boost and feedback for the filmmakers working this field; who doesn't want to be a winner??
