Main Awards

Les Miserables by Ladj Ly

Jury statement: "A gripping feature debut by Ladj Ly that impresses on every level. We especially loved the kinetic energy, the hyper-real visual style, dynamic editing and convincing cast."

Chained by Yaron Shani

Jury statement: "We award best feature film to Love Trilogy: Chained in which an Israeli policeman’s sense of his own masculinity is inexorably called into question, threatening the bonds of his marriage."

One Hundred Percent by Yael Kipper, Ronen Zaretzky

  • The GWFF International First Feature Award (15,000 EUR)

House of Hummingbird by Kim Bo-ra

Jury statement: "This is a subtle, gentle, mature coming of age story which never raises its voice, about a fourteen years old girl who learns what real life is all about, discovering the true meaning of such notions as family and friends, love and rejection, loss and pain, expectations and disappointments. By far, one of the best films of this year."
