Fig Trees by John Greyson

Jury statement:
With his familiar cheeky style, Greyson’s operatic tour de force smashes conventional barriers of form and genre to reinvent the documentary. Integrating personal histories with an indictment of governments and pharmaceutical companies, Fig Trees colorfully expands the conversation about AIDS and AIDS activism from local struggles to global collaboration.

Mit seinem gewohnt frechen Stil überschreitet John Greysons opernhafte Tour de Force die Grenzen von Form und Genre und erfindet so den Dokumentarfilm neu. Durch die Verbindung von persönlichen Geschichten mit der Anklage gegen Regierungen und Pharmakonzerne erweitert Fig Trees anschaulich die Diskussion über AIDS und AIDS-Aktivismus weg von lokalen Kämpfen hin zu globaler Zusammenarbeit.
