Agua Fria Del Mar (Cold Water of the Sea), a project by Costa Rica's Paz Fabrega, won the first prize of the fourth Buenos Aires Lab (BAL), which ended on Sunday as part of the Buenos Aires Film Festival (BAFICI).
The prize was presented by European cultural TV network ARTE and consists of a cash award (?5.000) in addition to free production and post-production services.
Paz says "it is a prize given to the best project in the market. Hopefully it will make it easier to find a french co-producer and shoot soon".
It has also been selected by Hubert Bals Fund of the Rotterdam Film Festival.
