FALCON LAKE
by Charlotte Le Bon

Jury statement:
"A genre transgressive fantasy of the pains and pleasures of adolescence, blurring the boundaries between life and death, and laying bare and touching our innermost fears and hopes through masterly styled cinematography and action."

FEEDER
by Andrzej Danis

Jury statement:
"A rare subject matter told as a genre blend between coming-of-age, body horror and quite literally making friends with your demons. As the horrific events unfold we are still left with hope, externalizing and manifesting pain into the open, all with superb acting and practical effects."

HEADACHE
by Björn Schagerström

Jury statement:
"A nightmarish “Karin Boye and Orwell goes capitalist” vision of the future, with excellent production values, acting and absurd humor. Furthermore, this film shows how to break an oppressive machine and reclaim your own identity by refusing to play the game."

THE OLD YOUNG CROW
by Liam LoPinto

Jury statement:
"A beautifully multi-layered and heart warming story where different animation styles, cultures and ages skillfully meet and create a visual poem about loss and belonging."
