  • Kateryna Tsopa
  • Yuliia Shcherbak
  • Angelika Machula
  • Oksana Novoseltseva

 

MAIN PRIZE

 

Petit Samedi / Paloma Sermon-Daï / Belgium / 2020 / 75’

 

The film showcases the issue of injecting drug users' position in society. This complex story of an attempt to overcome addiction inspires the viewer without demonization of the protagonist. The clear and meaningful artistic delineation of space, the color correction, and the duration of shots create a unique atmosphere, making this film special. 

 

SPECIAL MENTION

 

Salt from Bonneville / Simon Mozgovy / Ukraine, Poland, Georgia / 2020 / 74’

The director’s work creates the effect of full immersion into the main characters’ story. The use of natural light and the organization of frames blur the line between the protagonists’ reality and the cinematic language.

SPECIAL MENTION

 

Unseen / Maia Martiniak / Slovakia / 2018 / 87’

The film raises the urgent yet underdiscussed issue of obstetric violence. A comprehensive portrayal of this complicated theme prompts the audience for reflections.
