Film synopsis:
<p>A woman, a man. The island of Lampedusa, where their escape routes intersect. Zakaria, in his late twenties, from Somalia, who has risked his life coming to the island on a small boat when fleeing civil war in his country. Giulia, in her mid-fifties, a tourist from Northern Italy, on the run from deep personal crises. Both have returned to the island. Giulia, recovered but facing a life-threatening illness, and Zakaria, as a journalist now living in Rome.</p>

Film reviews:
<p>Two people return to the Mediterranean island of Lampedusa. Giulia overcame a personal crisis here, Zakaria fled here from the civil war in his homeland of Somalia. Schreiner tells about them, about innermost thoughts, existential questions and fears, about transiency: A search for meaning that remains fragmentary, moving between memory and now. The past presses into the monologues and conversations in the present of the cinematic image. It has written itself visibly into the skin, faces, and bodies that Schreiner explores in close ups, which become practically perceptible, yet nonetheless remain highly artificial. The strict, sensual beauty of these images, the play with abstraction of brilliant black-and-white, of light and shadow, the long, calm takes, the concentration on details all create the space for an intuitive, concentrated awareness, a space of encounter. The site of this encounter is concrete, but for the characters, the sparse, brittle landscape of Lampedusa turns into a stage of sorts, and a projection; an abstract space. Just as this island exists as a mere idea for most of us, as a place where political action becomes manifest, and also a crisis—the relationship of old Europe and young Africa, the dynamics of resistance and mesmerized attraction, of inside and outside. Schreiner drafts Lampedusa as a universal, internal narrative, as intense space of experience and association, oscillating between documentary and fictional elements. Freed of the necessity to explain, the film itself becomes a search and interrogation—of the characters, cinematic form, and our own present realities. (Barbara Pichler)</p>

LAMPEDUSA by Peter Schreiner Best Feature Fiction Award
BEST FEATURE FICTION FILM GUINO AWARD TO LAMPEDUSA by Peter Schreiner
The jury for El Ojo Cojo feature films fiction composed by Rosario Ruiz Rodgers (Colombia), Francois Jost (France), Lucas Paraizo (Brazil) has decided unanimously to award the prize for Best Feature Fiction to Lampedusa (Austria) by Peter Schreiner
For its beautiful black and white cinematographic film treatment and a rigorously cinematic style. A touching theme film. A beautiful and risky coherent proposal in its development.
