Prix Italia Winning Programmes 2001








RADIO MUSIC




Borderscapes by YLE – Finland




Director: Veli-Matti Puumala


Producer: Heikki Valsta




Because more than any other entry this programme exploits all aspects of radio as a medium in a way that also communicates its human story in a powerful way.




Ritirano il premio: il Produttore Heikki Valsta ed il Compositore Veli-Matti Puumala






RADIO DRAMA SINGLE PLAY






Dhulan, the Indian Wife by RAI/Radio 3 - Italy




Director: Wilma Labate


Producer: Anna Antonelli;Lorenzo Pavolini




Dhulan is a very beautiful production. It captures the listeners interest, as much for the outstanding performances by the actors as the intrigue at the heart of this unusual love triangle. Lies, passion and sensuality are the obvious themes, but this sophisticated drama told in such an elegant way raises complex issues like illegal immigration, exploitation and different kinds of human suffering.

RADIO DRAMA SERIALS AND SERIES




The Jury unanimously decided not to award the prize for this category.






RADIO CULTURAL DOCUMENTARIES






A Star named Absinthe – Chernobyl by SRF - France




Directors: René Farabet, Thomas Dutter


Producer: René Farabet




The Jury chose this program by majority, recognizing its outstanding qualities in both the depths of idea and the consumate handling of the elements that combine powerfully to convey and reveal a story radiophonically whose resonances will travel with us into the future.


A blighted eden has become a time-bomb for the planet and humankind. It is timely and timeless.






RADIO CURRENT AFFAIRS DOCUYMENTARY




My son the Nazi- Scenes of a family in Lower Bavaria by ARD – Germany






Director: Reinhard Schneider


Producer: SFB, Renate Jurzik




The Jury was unanimous in judging this program to be outstanding in its dramatic presentation of a real life situation of relevance not only to countries in which Nazism


emerged and in which it now reappears, but especially for its universality of meaning with the allegorical power of a Greek tragedy. It is an intimate and emotive radiophonic portrait, strongly composed and revealing.
