The We Art Water Film Festival has announced its winners. The jury of the festival revealed its decision on the 22nd<\/sup> June, at the traditional gala event at the Roca Madrid Gallery, and presented the awards to the best works in the micro-documentary, micro-fiction and micro-animation categories, and revealed the Audience Award.<\/p>\n

The shorts contain touching messages, denounce injustices and convey an optimistic message that helps us to move towards the uncertainty of the future with increased confidence in the ability of human beings to restore and take care of the most precious good. This is the great value brought by the We Art Water Film Festival to the world each year. The winners speak for themselves.<\/p>\n

In the micro-documentary category, La monta\u00f1a m\u00e1gica (The magic mountain)<\/em>, by Nicol\u00e1s Dur\u00e1n<\/strong> (Colombia) is an impressive message of a change of attitude that invites us to take care of water everywhere, and a tribute to pristine water, an immeasurable gift from nature that not everyone can have.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

The high level of quality of the submitted short films in the micro-animation category is reflected in The Breath of Water<\/em>, by Uzochukwu Precious Njoku<\/strong> (Nigeria). A beautiful song of optimism in the relationship between water and future generations.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

In the micro-fiction category, Color of Water<\/em>, by Sabin Maharjan <\/strong>(Nepal), shows with tenderness and a sense of humour the terrible contrast between the theory of clean water and the reality of polluted water through the innocent vision of a child.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

And the short film chosen by the audience, Pure Water Boy,<\/em> by Peter Kundum<\/strong> (Nigeria), describes the incredible daily fight of Bala, a homeless boy, who is forced to survive by distributing water in small bags and to quench his thirst with the remains of the water his clients discard.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
