Best Narrative Short – Jury Award 69v58

“The Pencil“ by Alexandre Mahutte, Canada g5922

Jury´s Statement
The world from the perspective of a pencil points out the incomprehensibility, crudeness, and exploitation of the world in a funny and ambiguous way. Vivid presence of the off-voice.

Best Arthouse Short – Jury Award  6c4n6i

“The Case“ by David Norman, Switzerland 1t671t

Jury´s Statement
A simple way to show the complex theme of time looping, very well underscored by the sound design, which occasionally becomes music. The remarkable acting of Quinn Butterfield.

Best Feminist Short – Jury Gold Award 6z6i2a

“Woman´s Work“ by Annemijn Hélène Rijk, Netherlands h2e4y

Jury´s Statement
A clear image on the theme of woman as a timeless continuum. A strong performance with the excellent pace that keeps the interest of the audience incessantly.

Best Feminist Short – Jury Silver Award 6745l

“Doxxed“ by Otto Logan, USA 2e125t

The film got right to the heart of the feminist issue – a powerful message about the state of affairs today. Remarkable performance by the cast.

Best Feminist Short – Jury Bronze Award 3lk1c

"Child Psychology” by Duru Yildiz, Turkey 5t534j

Impressive and touching images on the subject of abuse. A strong story concept that consists of circles and thus has no end and no beginning.

The saying “Watch what you wish for.” is told in a very humorous anti-didactic way with a brisk pace and a funny twist.

Best Sci-Fi Short – Jury Award k2351

“First Time” by Scotty Baker, USA 3s2h

Jury´s Statement
A successful absurdist yet human philosophical debate in a distant future, told with fine dry humor in the style of Douglas Adams and his “Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy”.

Best Experimental Short – Jury Gold Award 86564

“Measured in Echoes” by Jonathan Joy, USA 1c473v

Jury´s Statement
Impressive x-ray of a stopped time: impressionistic and hypnotic. Beautiful interactive play of the camera, the light, and the music.

Best Experimental Short – Jury Silver Award 6hk64

[ technopoetics ] by Alexandre Dacosta, Brasil 1bjy

Unconventional and inventive graphic poems told in a charming, funny, and educational way. A new poetic gaze at reality.

“I Hate You and Everything You Represent” by Sebastián Porteiro, Uruguay 4i2e4l

Jury´s Statement
Very poetic symbolism of love in all its facets: romantic beginning, rough disappointment, new beginning. The beautiful off-voices.
