US author Joyce Carol Oates headed the jury of the Swiss festival,
French director Simon Rieth’s first feature Summer Scars (Nos Cérémonies) won the best feature prize at Switzerland’s Neuchâtel International Fantastic Film Festival (Nifff) which closed on Saturday July 9.
The award comes with a prize of Chf 10,000 from the City of Neuchâtel.
Summer Scars is sold by Wild Bunch International.
“Brilliant and audacious in conception, beautifully directed and performed, Summer Scars is a startlingly original exploration of an intimate bond between brothers that resists translation into terms other than its own,” said Joyce Carol Oates, president of the international jury.

Simon Rieth’s “Summer Scars,” a seaside tale of fraternal love cast in a woozy glow and cut with shocking spikes of violence, won top honors at this year’s Neuchatel International Fantastic Film Festival, claiming the Narcisse Award for best feature film, and with it 10,200 in prize money and a trophy designed Switzerland’s own H.R. Giger.
Del Kathryn Barton’s “Blaze,” an hallucinatory Australian drama that carries a young murder witness into a kaleidoscopic fantasy world, received honorable mention and won the Imaging the Future award for best production design, which comes with a 5100 grant.
Other prizes went to Tunisian director Youssef Chebbi’s “Ashkal,” which won the international critics award; to Italy’s Gabriele Mainetti, whose circus-superhero mashup “Freaks Out” won the Rts audience awards; and to Chris Huang Wen-chang’s “Demigod: The Legend Begins,” a martial arts epic told entirely with puppets, which won the audience award for best Asian film.

In “Summer Scars” (“Nos cérémonies”), French director Simon Rieth asks: How strong is brotherly love? In his feature debut, Rieth brilliantly mixes realism and fantasy in a moving story, co-written with Léa Riche, whose originality alone is worth a detour.
In the film, Tony, around 10 years old, and his younger sibling Noé share everything: the games, the hugs, a love of martial arts, long summer days spent playing on the beaches of Royan, the sun that gilds their skin. They also share their pain, in silence, when their parents argue and eventually split. And they even share a love interest: little Noé secretly fell for Cassandre, Tony’s sweetheart.
The boys, played by the excellent Grégory and Benjamin Lu, fill their days, unsupervised, testing their bravery with all sorts of challenges. But at the game of who is the strongest, they will both lose. The impending tragedy lurks from the first minutes of the film.

Summertime Sadness: Reith Explores Brotherly Love with Ominous Magical Realism
It’s a formulation as old as storytelling, two men whose love for one another is filtered through and tempered by their attraction to the same woman. But director Simon Rieth attempts something a bit different in his debut, Summer Scars (Nos Cérémonies), a coming of age tale about two brothers which descends into traumatic and subtly spooky territory. Evoking magical realism tendencies, Rieth explores two distinct time periods between brothers who develop a mysterious bond following a tragic accident which makes everything following it inexplicable.
Working more as a metaphor on the powerful nature of attachments, both familial and romantic, this is a narrative about obsession and fixation filtered through the sun dappled earnestness of youth.…...

Jesse Eisenberg’s “When You Finish Saving the World” will be the opening-night film at this year’s International Critics Week (Semaine de la Critique), an independent sidebar at the Cannes Film Festival devoted to first and second films from up-and-coming directors.
The film premiered at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, which because of the Covid-19 pandemic was held virtually rather than in person. New Critics Week head Ava Cahen described the booking of Eisenberg’s movie as “an act of solidarity” with that festival to give the film an in-person spotlight.
The seven films in competition include Charlotte Wells’ “Aftersun,” Mikko Myllylahti’s “The Woodcutter Story,” Simon Roth’s “Summer Scars” and Ali Behrad’s “Imagine.” Three of the seven come from female directors.

Critics’ Week, the sidebar dedicated to first and second films running alongside the Cannes Film Festival, will be kicking off with Jesse Eisenberg’s feature debut “When You Finish Saving the World” and showcase four female-directed movies.
Selected out of 1100 submitted movies, the full roster includes 11 feature films, seven of which will compete and four will play as special screenings.
“When You Finish Saving the World,” which is headlined by Julianne Moore and Finn Wolfhard, revolves around the relationship between a politically-engaged mother and her fame-obsessed teenage son, who is also a burgeoning musician. The A24 movie is based on Eisenberg’s 2020 audio drama of the same name and was part of the Sundance 2022 selection.
