Bears and Awards for the Best Films in Berlinade Shorts (Feb 17, 2010) Winner: The DAAD scholarship goes to Adrian Sitaru from Romania for “Colivia” (Bird cage). Father and Mother are eating when the son shows up, carrying an injured dove in his arms. “I want the pigeon to stay”, says the son. “Impossible”, says the father. “I want it to stay and I want a cage for it”, insists the son. “A perfectly paced miniature, a chamber piece inside a Romanian tower block. Funny, heartfelt, with a wonderful rhythm. The director needs only 17 minutes to portray the three characters involved,” comments the Jury. Adrian Sitaru is a film maker of feature length and short films. This award gives him the opportunity to come to Berlin for three months and work on a new project.
