‘Tides – A History of Lives and Dreams Lost and Found (Some Broken)’, a film about the River Foyle,  has won several prestigious awards on the international film festival circuits.

It has won its 4th award since its release, winning the Special Mention Award at the international “On The Road Film Festival” in Rome.

The jury, who praised the film as “capable to investigate the theme of “border” in an unconventional and very poetic way”, praised Tides for “Best protagonist: the river”: the voice of the River Foyle is Northern Irish actress and former drama student at Magee College – Emma Taylor.

Derry based film director Alessandro Negrini, who attended the award ceremony said that he is “touched and so glad to see how this little story about a far away river can translate into other people lives, making them think about their lives, and yes, their dreams.”

‘Tides’ , is a dreamlike and visionary portrait of the River Foyle in Northern Ireland, where the story is narrated from the point of view of the river: the river becomes the protagonist, telling us its autobiography.

The film recently won the Special Mention Award for Best Film at Milan International Film Festival, Best Cinematography Award at Sole Luna Film Festival in Palermo and Best Film Soundtrack at Treviso Doc Festival, receiving so far four awards and six nominations since its release last June.
