João Salaviza's Rafa wins the Uppsala Award in Memory of Ingmar Bergman



Portuguese cinema is gaining recognition like never before. Rafa, the short film by João Salaviza was awarded last February the Berlinale’s Golden Bear for best short film. Today João Salaviza collected another award, the Uppsala Award in Memory of Ingmar Bergman. The Uppsala award in memory of Ingmar Bergman goes to a film that with sensitive cinematography captures the silence of a young boy on a lone mission in modern Lisbon. It is a film with emotional but subtle acting which bodes well for the future.
The winner is João Salaviza (Portugal) for the film Rafa.”

Congratulations, João Salaviza!
