CCDF-7 NINE AWARDS
Monday, 26 September 2016
Taipei, Taiwan: After an intense three days of training with eight top international documentary experts and two full days of pitching to broadcasters, online services, distributors, foundations and festival directors from 17 countries, the seventh edition of the annual CNEX Chinese Doc Forum (CCDF-7) held its closing ceremonies and handed out nine major prizes. The big winners were Bank in School from Taiwan and People’s Hospital from China.
The prize for Best Pitch presented by CNEX and worth US$5,000 went to Taiwan’s Maso Chen for Bank in School, which also picked up two other awards from Sheffield Doc/Fest and China’s GZDOC. Chen Si-yi and Xu Ruo-han’s People’s Hospital won the CNEX-Illinois Public Media Research and Development Prize worth US$5,000 to the filmmakers and US$5,000 for CNEX to executive produce the film as well as a prize from IDFA, one of the world’s leading documentary festivals in Amsterdam. This project was deemed to have the greatest international potential.
