I somehow end up looking for actors and performers who are not trained. When Tejol Kolwalkar (Best Actor winner) and I wrote NINE MINUTES TO NIRVANA, I felt that Tejol should play the part as well. He knew the material very well, and understood thoroughly what the part was about.
I was delighted to hear that I had won the award for best screenplay and I would like to thank the Strasbourg film festival for giving me the chance to show my short film.
My film Tysta rop (Hidden despair) is about missing fatherhood and what consequences that might have for sons. It also emphasizes the question whether a strong mother can replace a missing father for sons. I raise these issues by telling a fiction story without judging the characters nor moralize on their choices or decisions.

The Annual Program Without Frontiers will grant again the Best Short Film Direction Award at the 22th edition of Mar del Plata International Film Festival.
The most voted director by the jury of the Annual Program Without Frontiers and the Inner View 2007 as Best Director will receive the Official Diploma and his short film will be automatically included in the Official Selection at the San Francisco Short Film Festival (June 2007) and at the Festival du Cinéma de Paris (December 2007).
We are proud to announce that a special selection of best shorts from every Film Festivals included in our Program will be screened at the 22th edition of the Mar del Plata International Film Festival.

Sincerely,

 Director
Carlos Martinez
