Baby Boom: Didier Bizet, France; 2nd place, Documentary. “A Reborn is a hyper-realistic doll that resembles a newborn baby. Many reborns have birthmarks, veins, hair, visible skin pores, and even saliva. Markets for these dolls range from reborn artists and collectors to hospitals and adoptive mothers and fathers. What motivates a person, or a couple, to “adopt” a reborn - the word “buy” is frowned upon in these circles - varies. For some, there is the attraction of caring for a baby that shares their physical features. For others, a reborn is an antidote to loneliness”.
