MALTA

SLOVAKIA
Peter Kerekes's 107 Mothers could be a strong contender for a nomination. It's a narrative feature which at times plays like a documentary, set in a maternity ward in a Ukranian prison for violent offenders. The convicts see their babies for just a couple of hours a day. The narrative mostly focuses on one prisoner (and her toddler boy) and one prison guard. Reviewed at Venice.
