Overcoming obstacles and being nourished by lessons taught are abilities we acquire keeping an open mind and embracing knowledge. Self-improvement is a result of commitment and confidence, both individual and collective, transmitted as an example of our achievements and learning from mistakes. We complement our struggle with our involvement and openness, as good things come to those who wait.
First of all, we would like to thank you for this opportunity. We live in a small rural town called Santo Domingo, in Maipú.
We are a total of eight kids from 4th, 5th and 6th grade and we make up a multi-grade class. Our parents and grandparents, along with their tales and experiences, have got us to love this place and its traditions. They and the school have been the ones to plant a seed on us that makes us dream about being veterinarians, filmmakers, criminologists, police officers or rural workers.

The IMD is honored to pay homage to the fellow companion Edgardo “Pipo” Bechara El Khoury during the presentation of the RAFMA Award in this 19th edition of the FICDH. Next to Pipo, we have shared the twists and turns of the festival labor, with its passionate challenges and its relentless struggles. The intensity, commitment and trickster humour he brought to every project planted a fertile cinema seed we shall keep watering. In this edition, specially dedicated to migrant roots, we would like to remember him for his invaluable contribution to social cinema as a bridge connecting worlds. Farewell, Pipo!
