.
The jury states: ”Many films in this year’s VPRO Tiger Awards Competition dealt with the relationships between children and their parents, often within isolated communities. Fathers were killed, innocence was lost, and both fluids were spilled. There is one film however in which all of this happens... in an especially surprising, intelligent and accessible way. For these reasons, the winner of the International Critics Prize is: MADEINUSA by Claudia Llosa".
