The 2012 Berlinale prizes have been delivered and the international jury awarded the Taviani brothers the Golden Bear for their new film Cesare deve morire (Cesare Must Die), which observes rehearsals in a prison of Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar, drawing parallels between the play and the world today. In 2008, l’Alternativa dedicated a retrospective to Paolo & Vittorio Taviani. Other prizes include the Silver Bear for best film to Hungarian filmmaker Bence Fliegauf’s Csak a szél (Just The Wind), whose previous feature films have all screened in competition at l’Alternativa, starting in 2003 with his debut Rengeteg (Forest), followed by Dealer in 2004 and in 2007 Tejut (Milky Way), which won the Jury prize at the Festival.
