The statement of IDF for selecting the project Big Village:

The project we decided to award is one which touched us most by it's very personal story of a search for the family roots, for the past long gone and the personal memories of people involved. It impressed us by its various, independent parts, such as interactive web, book and film, that all contribute to the complete story. Our choice is Big Village, a transmedia project developed by Beri Shalmashi, Joost Wilgenhof, Hyper Epic and Kaliber Film.

The project is invited to participate in the East Doc Platform 2018, will receive observer pass to attend all the events, lectures and masterclasses, will have consultations and individual meetings with tutors and guests of East European Forum.
