Sunny Bergman has won Over the Hill wins Sound and Image Award 2007

January 2008

Sunny Bergman has won the 2007 Sound and Image Award in the Information category. The other nominees in this category were The Great Donor Show (BNN) and Other Times, Celebes Parts 1 & 2 (NPS). In their report, the expert jury wrote: "Over the Hill is a penetrating portrait of an era. It shows how the physical reality around us is undergoing rigorous changes, so much so that real and natural no longer exist. But strangely enough, the unreal serves as an ideal of how we want to look, or think we want to look. The viewer gets the facts in painstaking detail, and sometimes the director leads us through this new reality, with mild irony and in a unique manner, in part by offering herself as the object. This form of participatory journalism provides an extra and special dimension to this extremely entertaining documentary."

The Sound and Image Awards are presented to the very best Dutch TV shows and multimedia concepts, and to the TV Personality of 2007.
