It has been more than a year since we have last met at the 7th International Archaeology Film Festival at the Museum of Croatian Archaeological Monuments in Split, and the 8th Festival is already at our doorstep! Embracing new adventures that the 8th MFAF is about to bring us, let us give a little throwback.<\/p>\n
Twenty-one films shown during the three-day event, brought to the audience diverse, thematically and chronologically, and at the same time intriguing topics. We discovered millennia-old secrets, put together puzzles and mosaics, walked along beaches, nature reserves and narrow streets. We met the ladies and princes of Prehistory, the dune people, the most famous figures of the Revolution, Marat and Robespierre, and the thousand and one faces of Palmyra, among many others.<\/p>\n
The main prize of the Festival was awarded to Vanessa Tubiana-Brun and C\u00e9cile Michel with the film Thus Speaks Tar\u0101m K\u016bbi, Assyrian Correspondence<\/em> that follows Tar\u0101m K\u016bbi’s correspondence with her brother and husband in Kane\u0161 and illuminates the story of everyday life four thousand years ago.<\/p>\n The second prize of the expert jury was awarded to the film Ladies and Princes of Prehistory<\/em>, by Pauline Costa and Camille Gouby-Monin, while the third prize was won by The Dune People<\/em>, by David Geoffroy.<\/p>\n The Audience Award was awarded to The 1001 faces of Palmyra<\/em>, a film by Meyar Al-Roumi and Agn\u00e8s Trintzius that speaks about this legendary city and its multicultural identity.<\/p>\n A novelty of the last edition was the prize of the student jury, which awarded Marie Thiry and St\u00e9phane Milli\u00e8re for their film The Mystery of the Cosquer Cave<\/em>.<\/p>\n In addition to excellent films, two lectures were held during the three days of the Festival: art historian, curator at the Louvre Cyrille Gouyette, author of influential books on how classical art inspires contemporary urban art, and directress of the Byzantine and Christian Museum in Athens, Paraskeva Kalamara. In the accompanying program, two educational workshops for children and young people were held, Small School of Anatomy and Identification by Forensic Anthropology.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It has been more than a year since we have last met at the 7th International Archaeology Film Festival at the Museum of Croatian Archaeological Monuments in Split, and the 8th Festival is already at our doorstep!
