Videocracy voted best documentary at the Toronto Film Festival
The legendary film industry magazine Indiewire wraps up Toronto Film Festival 2009 with a critic’s poll where the most votes for best documentary went to Videocracy by Atmo director Erik Gandini.
Amongst the 25 voting Canadian and American critics, there were journalists from Los Angeles Times, USA Today, Philadelphia City Paper, Time Out New York och Time Out Chicago.
”I am really interested in how you can destroy a democracy by tits and ass”, Gandini said in an exclusive interview with Indiewire, commenting on why his documentary has acclaimed such an international interest.
Videocracy had its world premiere at the Venice film festival beginning September and got very good reviews by for instance Screen International that wrote:
”Videocracy comes across at times like a documentary horror sci-fi set in the present.”
Videocracy has lately been number four in the Italian box office. After the screenings in Toronto last week sales negotiations were initiated with several territories world wide.
