MAN NUMBER 4 BY MIRANDA PENNEL WINS THE ARTWORKS BEST FILM AWARD

Heartfelt congratulations to Miranda Pennell, the recipient of ARTWORKS Best Film Award, for Man Number 4 which competed at the inaugural Reframing Image section within the 13th Athens Avant Garde Film Festival! 

Ιn the jury’s words the film resembles a renaissance painting of the internet. Borrowing a photo posted on social media, the creator maps out a geography to be explored and composes square by square, a transcendental experience that surpasses the boundaries of simple cinematic viewing.

This award is not only a recognition of artistic excellence but a call for action. It reflects ARTWORKS’ commitment to supporting contemporary artists and amplifying voices that redefine the landscape of Greek and international filmmaking. 

The Reframing Images jury also awarded 2 special mentions to Maria Anastassiou for her film Notes: Remembered and Found by and to Alekos Alexiadis for Climate Diary. Congratulations to both filmmakers!

A big thank you to Reframing Images jury – Kostis Charamountanis, Christina Koutsospyrou, and Neritan Zinxhiria – for your commitment to artistic freedom, to the Athens Avant-Garde Film Festival and the Greek Film Archive for such an inspiring collaboration, and always grateful to our founding donor, the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF). 

The awards ceremony for the ARTWORKS Best Film Award – Reframing Images Competition took place on Sunday December 15th  at the Greek Film Archive.
