Special Mention
Short Film
WINNER
Discipline: Christophe M. Saber
"Technically superior and skillfully directed film that takes us on a satirical rollercoaster, fuelled by xenophobia and political correctness. Through the eyes of a child we are faced with a chaotic world where people coexist amidst different cultural norms. It delivers its message in a light-hearted way, yet it never crosses over to banality. For this we commend it, and we bestow upon it a special mention."
