Robert Minassian - When Flowers Dream of Us
A film whose meditation on 'silence, memory, and rebirth' responds with nuance and sensitivity to an ongoing situation of conflict and devastation. Subtly interwining the organic and the inorganic, human and natural realms, its lyrical poetics are plaintive but hopeful.

Alia Syed, Gloria Vilches, Federico Windhausen
Elodie Arpa - Feet the Other Way Around
A sensorially-immersive film attuned to the cinema's ability to transform our sense of a place and its inhabitants. This film develops a thematics of fluidity that channels together flora and fauna, environment and community, within an intricate soundscape.

Daniel Mann - The Recce
'No land is empty, not here nor there.' Constructing a modern epistolary narrative through a chain of emails related to location scouting, this is a film of provocative analogies and parallels. It manages to comment on the past and present of colonialism through the lens of the practicalities of filmmaking.

Elodie Arpa - Feet the Other Way Around
An electrifying film that dissolves boundaries between bodies and their surroundings, blends intense presence with deep absence, and turns the sense of self as well as the senses upside-down until you are forest, wind, water, music, heat, desire…
REFLEXES GRAND PRIX
Tena Bakšaj, Anja Banko, An. Fazekaš
Igor Zelić - Opera
A deeply complex film built on a disarmingly simple premise; nostalgic, smart, thoroughly filmic, and tapping into topics of human time-and-space through a layered, ever-shifting light.
