Best Edition

CANDY DARLING
by SILVIA DEFRANCE
"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.
Awarded Category: Editing

Best Photography

ARMEN
by SHERRY FESTEKJIAN
A survivor of the 1915 Armenian Genocide struggles with the responsibility of being a savior in the Jewish Holocaust.
Photography: Jimmy Browning

 

SPECIAL MENTIONS:

Special Mention

A HUMAN SANCTUARY
by RON ASSUOLINE
A perfect cinematographic replica tells the story of two opposing Jewish concepts - the desert hermits, writers of the dead sea scrolls, verses the vigorous Jerusalemites in and around the holy temple, set in ancient times 2,000 years ago.

Special Mention

FRANCOIS
by DARIO GORINI and IACOPO ZANON
In an intimate and fine bar, three women and three men always choose the same table to look for their soulmate. The play goes on until the arrival of a mysterious entity, who speaks french inexplicably.

Special Mention

LIMINAL
by STEPHEN KEEP MILLS
A woman, her body, and the destructive voice that controls her. A psychological fight to the finish as INA wages war to get her power back from her shadow-thief. This intense and raw confrontation is shot in 35mm, in B&W, with both players naked, allowing the audience to feel the characters' primitive vulnerability.
