Honorable Mention
Six Weeks

The film tackles a difficult social subject and shows crucial dilemmas and life choices. The strength of the main character gives the plot both a dynamic and a tragic energy.

Grand Prix: Best Short

Silkworm
dir. by Amir Honarmand

For showing a child hero tangled in the world of adults, their morality and violence. Wonderfully crafted film with great performances which lets the main character remain a child among the challenging mechanisms of the modern world.

WYRÓŻNIENIE

Witchfairy
dir. by Cedric Igodt, David Van de Weyer
Belgium

For a spectacularly painted poetic image. The unique value of the film is that it shows the courage in finding your way in life, even at the cost of losing the approval of the ones close to you. Love can be the key that connects two seemingly foreign worlds.

CHILDREN’S JURY

Best Feature

Alfons Jittrebit – Class Trip Chaos
dir. by Mark Schlichter
Germany

This is a very interesting film. It’s funny because of the back luck that troubles Alfons. We selected it, because it made us laugh and it shows that even without luck you don’t need to give up and you don’t need to be ashamed of your mistakes.

Best Short

A Cookie’s Adventure
dir. by A. Jérémie, B. Alexis, B. Iléana, L. Myriam, L. Margot, R. Zoé, T. Romain, T. Camille
France

This animation was the best. Cookie was very funny and proved that friendship is the most important thing when he decided to save his friend rather than get the princess.

YOUTH JURY
Adam Pudło, Daniel Wereski, Jakub Jakubaszek, Przemysław Flis

Najlepszy Film
