The International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam (IDFA) announced its award winners on Friday night and TFI New Media Fund grantee Alma, a Tale of Violence won the IDFA DocLab Award for Digital Storytelling (a 2,500 EURO prize). The web documentary is a unique interactive web/tablet concept in which viewers move between Alma, a former member of one of Guatemala's most violent gangs, and a visual evocation of Alma's recollection. The project is the creation of Miquel Dewever-Plana and Isabelle Fougère and was produced by Paris-based web production company Upian.
