AWARDED FILMS BY CATEGORIES:
CANDY DARLING
by SILVIA DEFRANCE - Belgium
"Candy Darling" is almost like a fun park ride, but for adults --- a sort of Freudian "Alice in Wonderland", but the landscape is a bit more ominous. A phantasmagoria of images that are at once unsettling, stimulating and darkly comical.

LIMINAL
by STEPHEN KEEP MILLS - USA
A woman. Her body. A destructive, controlling voice. These elements lock INA and JOY into a seething battle of elimination. Are they lovers or just one woman fighting her inner self? Set in a stark interior, shot in 35 b&w, one thing is clear: their primitive vulnerability is as raw as their exposed psyches.
