Best Film Award
A slow burning crime and punishment drama and an explosive study of moral decay, set in Greece in times of crisis. Director Yiannis Economides and his powerful cast, led by the unblinking main character Vangelis Mourikis, introduce to us to an unmerciful contract killer, who is trying to make this mean, cold and ugly world he lives in a better place and for a few moments he actually succeeds.
THE BEST FILM AWARD GOES TO STRATOS, BY YIANNIS ECONOMIDES.
Special Jury Award
A dramatic and painful story depicted in one of the most beautiful and poetic ways with just a few actors. A unique way of expression, raising questions about hidden and invisible realities in our lives. THE SPECIAL JURY AWARD GOES TO FUNERAL AT NOON BY ADAM SANDERSON FROM ISRAEL.
