We are pleased to announce that the film by Wiktor Malczyński, a student of the 5th Maria Skłodowska-Curie High School in Lublin, won the First Prize at the international competition - "Grand Prix" of the UNESCO Week of Sound International Competition: When Sound Creates Image!
As part of the competition, students from all over the world were encouraged to create a short film that composed of innovative images, guided and inspired by its evocative power. Young people from 20 countries on all continents submitted 171 films. Many of the films reflect upon global and local issues that are vital and essential to participating students, incl. climate change, biodiversity, discrimination, violence, health and friendship.
The author of the soundtrack, this year, is a Lebanese composer, Gabriel Yared. He is internationally renowned and exceptional composer of film music in French and American productions, winner of multiple prestigious awards, including an Oscar for the film "The English Patient" (1996).
