Dir. Shayma\u2019 Awawdeh<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Through a sensitive use of archive and voice, and an intimate exploration of her own memories, the film transforms individual remembrance into a powerful reflection on collective trauma, creating a work that is both politically resonant and emotionally touching. For her courage in confronting personal and historical memory, the Gran Premio \u201cAsino d\u2019Oro\u201d for Best Film goes to Intersecting Memory<\/em> by Shayma Awawdeh.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Jury Special Award<\/strong>
Stallion y la Bola de Cristal<\/strong><\/em><\/strong>
Dir. Christian Avil\u00e9s<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

We award our special prize to this film for its ability to blur the boundaries between imagination, reality, and dreams through a storytelling whose visual language combines human fragility and symbolism with a desperate quest for freedom. This short film stands out for its sensible approach and ability to turn an intimate story into a universal experience. The winner of the Jury Special Award is Stallion y la Bola de Cristal<\/em> by Christian Avil\u00e9s.

Special Mention<\/strong>
Forget the Director, this is Emmy’s Cut<\/em>!

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

We award our Special Mention to this film for its ability to play with different film styles and for its bold, almost anarchic use of editing, delivering a multi-layered portrait of the social dynamics that unfold inside a movie theater. The Special Mention goes to Forget the Director, This Is Emmy’s Cut!<\/em> by Marion Desmaret.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

We award our prize to O Rio de Janeiro continua lindo<\/em> by Felipe Casanova for its ability to combine documentary storytelling with an intimate narrative that exposes political aspects conceived in the personal sphere, reducing in this way the geographical distance between the film and the viewer.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Young Jury Special Mention
<\/strong>Acid City<\/strong><\/em>
<\/strong>Dir. Jack Wedge and Will Freudenheim<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Audience Award<\/strong>
A Real Swedish Midsommar<\/em><\/strong>
Dir. Ville Gobi<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
