    “HP Bridging The Borders Award offered by Cinema Without Borders goes to a film that is most successful in bridging and connecting the people of our world closer together. For 2017 we had twelve brilliant films from eleven countries.

    The winner of the 2017 HP Bridging The Borders Award is a film that has masterfully used the language of cinema to tell the story of a young immigrant, removed from this own culture, and a friend who helps him bridge the past and discover his ancestral soul. The winner is the French film, Pantheon directed by Ange-Régis Hounkpatin”
    ” said Bijan Tehrani, Editor In Chief of Cinema Without Borders.
