AHMED ATTIA'S AWARD

The documentary "Our Comrade Tito" winner of the V Ahmed Attia's award for the Dialogue of Cultures.

MEDIMED 2011, the Euro-Mediterranean Documentary Market, hosted the ceremony of the “V Ahmed Attia’s Award for the Dialogue of Cultures”, given to the documentary “Our Comrade Tito”, directed by Robin Hunzinger and produced by Bruno Florentin (REAL PRODUCTIONS, France) & FRANCE Ô.

Courtesy of APIMED, the producer received a 1,000 euros cash prize, awarded for the best documentary pitched in previous editions of MEDIMED. A jury comprised by Nezha Drissi (director of FIDADOC Festival), Pierre Barrot (O.I.Francophonie) Mohamed Charbagi (producer) & Yan Brolli (producer), selected the winning film out of 14 nominees.

Rich in intimate memories and archive documents “Our Comrade Tito” questions, with detachment, this devotion of an entire nation for Tito. It goes on the tracks of Tito through Ex-Yugoslavia while collecting testimonies, and puts in perspective the concealed legacy of Tito’s era.

The film was pitched as a project at the MEDIMED Pitching Forum in 2007. 

The Board of Directors of Association of Independent Producers of the Mediterranean (APIMED) decided to create this award in order to pay tribute to our dear president and friend, the Tunisian producer Ahmed Attia, who sadly passed away in 2007.
