Directed by: Csaba Bene Perlenberg, Sweden
Jury motivation: "It's said that creativity grows from confusion. That moment when you don't know what is coming next, what is waiting for you behind the next turn. But when you are brave enough and able to follow your intuition it is very rewarding.
The filmmaker has created a personal directing method that is challenging the actors and the crew in a creative process full of mutual trust.
Taking our attention from the very first moment keeping us there until the very end. A two kilometer one shot one take masterpiece."

Honorary Mention: "In the Meantime"
Directed by: Lisa Jonsson & Malin Nicander, Sweden
Jury motivation: "This film gives an intimate touch of a close society with elderly people who do not have anybody to take care of them - but with one common reason , waiting to die.
In spite of these people not having any privacy the filmmakers manage to show human dignity through daily details. People who take care of each other, two by two, things that matters like friendship, keeping a diary, sharing moments, helping changing clothes or having time on the dance floor.
This realistic and honest way of observing the characters can indeed sometimes be painful to watch, but in the same way you feel great wisdom in mind and body ageing."

Honorary Mention: "Stuck"
Directed by: Olavi Linna, Denmark
Jury motivation: "The director places the camera with great sensitivity in the right place at the right time. Portraying the main character with great sense of respect and love. Showing us the sadness that exists in the world of the individual living somewhere on the bridge between two worlds in the past and the present. The saying "The home is where the heart is" is given a new sense of depth. A finely tuned and well crafted portrait by a new filmmaker."
