The Glocal Images Best Film Award
For his sensitivity to develop an impossible love story between two lost souls, through an engaging and laconic visual narrative that enchants and captures the viewer, the Glocal Images Best Film Award accompanied by the amount of €6,000 goes to the film Sole by Carlo Sironi.
The Glocal Images Special Jury Award
For a brave film that poetically, yet realistically, portrays the desperate mother’s search of her son, confronted with a devastating truth, the Glocal Images Special Jury Award accompanied by the amount of €3,000, goes to the film Identifying Features by Fernanda Valadez.
Glocal Images Best Director Award
For flawlessly using absurd genre elements woving them into a most humane psychological coming-of-age story, the Glocal Images Best Director Award accompanied by the amount of €1,000, as well as by post-production services, worth of €4,000, offered by Authorwave goes to Zoe Wittock for her film Jumbo.
Honorary Distinction
For beautifully exploring intimacy, desire and faith, and for pushing human boundaries into unexpected paths, an honorary distinction goes to The Last Bath by David Bonneville.
Audience Award
The Audience Award goes to the film “Senior Citizen” by Marinos Kartikkis.
NATIONAL COMPETITION
The organisers announced that due to this year’s special circumstances that did not allow the establishment of a National Competition, it was decided that the amount accompanying the Best Cypriot Film Award of €4,000 be distributed equally to the 3 Cypriot films that were included in the festival’s program this year: Ballad of a pierced heart by Yiannis Economides, Senior Citizen by Marinos Kartikkis and Siege on Liperti Street by Stavros Pampallis.
