The management and organizers of the Libyan Film Festival, in cooperation with the Ali Qana House for Culture, presented a special artistic masterpiece to all participating filmmakers at the festival. This symbolic gesture expresses appreciation for participation and the cinematic act, moving away from the concept of traditional awards.
This masterpiece took the form of an artistic, handmade money box created by pioneers of the Ali Qana House for Culture during one of its artistic workshops. Each piece was uniquely designed to reflect the specific cinematic experience of each film.
Each money box holds the box office revenues of the participating film, transforming it from a mere artistic piece into a tangible memory of the cinematic experience. It serves as a symbolic nod to the value of the interaction between the film and its audience, linking artistic creativity with public presence.
The organizers confirmed that this initiative is not an award in the traditional sense, but rather an appreciation for participation itself, celebrating the cinematic act as a creative endeavor that stands on its own. This reflects the festival’s spirit of supporting filmmakers and their experiences.
Among those honored with this artistic gesture was the director of the film “Lost Rights,” one of the films participating in the events of the Libyan Film Festival.
