( Editorial: --> 1973 ) ZAGREB, Sept 21 (Hina) - A documentary entitled "My Brother Ante" by Croatian director Petar Krelja was awarded a special prize by the international Catholic panel of judges at the international television festival "Prixitalia". The festival took place in the Italian town of Assisi from September 13 to 20. The panel of judges chose Petar Krelja's film over 90 television films and documentaries because, as they said, it was the most impressive work relaying human morality, the Croatian Radio and Television said on Monday. The film "My Brother Ante" was shown to more than 2,000 visitors on Sunday night at the San Francesco d'Assisi basilica. The festival was directly broadcast by the Italian radio and television network RAI. "Prixitalia" is one of the most important international radio and television festivals. It celebrated its 50th anniversary this year, and Assisi, the birth town of San Francisco, was chosen as the host town. (hina) lml jn 211738 MET sep 98
