Jury statement: “A beautifully filmed, and very subtly, thoughtfully edited piece about belief as raw material of the cinematic endeavour. The jury celebrates this film as the discovery of a solid filmmaking touch, hoping it will travel far and wide, as we look forward to following the future work of its director.”
