The short film, which celebrated its premiere last year at the Festival Visions du Réel in Nyon, is the film adaptation of a cartoon report by well-known Swiss press caricaturist Patrick Chappatte that was published in the daily newspaper "Le Temps." The film is a candid story about people coexisting with bombs in Lebanon and how it affects their daily lives.
A three-member jury presented the award for Best Environmental Short to the film "La mort est dans le champ." The film competed in the Greenflicks category, which comprises international entries with an environmental theme.
