Israeli director Ari Folman took home the award for best animated feature at the European film awards on Saturday night in Berlin for his film,The film is a collaboration between 270 artists from 6 different countries - Israel, Germany, Poland, Luxembourg, France and Belgium, Folman said."The film,, takes 3-D computer images one step further, developing them into a chemical formula that every customer may consume through prescription pills," says the film's website. "is primarily a futuristic fantasy, but it is also a cry for help and a profound cry of nostalgia for the old-time cinema we know and love."Another top contender at Saturday night's event in Berlin was Israeli film,, which tells the story of an Orthodox Hassidic family from Tel Aviv, and took home the prize for best cinematography.No Israeli film has aroused as much curiosity as Rama Burstein’s, which discusses the controversy of marriage within the Orthodox community. This film was slated to have its premiere at the Jerusalem Film Festival in July, but then it was accepted into the extremely prestigious Venice Film Festival.The organizers of that festival asked Burstein to choose between Jerusalem and Venice, and she chose the European film festival.
