“[...] Through poetic imagery and sound, this film explores the question of what it means to fight for justice. [...] An outstanding production and directorial achievement that traces both the structural obstacles and the personal fates of its protagonists. [...]”, reads the jury’s statement.

Congratulations also to our alumna Alison Burns on her nomination in the “Best Screenplay” category for the screenplay “Out of Place”.
