The official closing gala and award ceremony of the MakeDox Festival was held last Friday, August 25th , in the capital city of Macedonia – Skopje. Festival jury acclaimed Piotr Stasik's documentary "21 x New York". The jury of Anton Calleja, Vladimir Blazhevski and Tue Steen Muller decided to give the film the Onion Award For The Best Film In The Main Program.
"21 x New York" is an intimate portrait of the city and its people. We meet the characters in the NYC subway and we follow them to the surface finding out about their lives, cravings, passions, hopes and dreams – sometimes lost and sometimes still waiting to be fulfilled. What comes out of it is an emotional tale of solitude that haunts us in the 21st century western world..
