Festival Grand Prix Awarded by People’s Jury:
“Die Tomorrow“, Dir. Nawapol Thamrongrattanarit, Thailand 2017
For bravely taking up a universal, yet dismissed subject of death and attempting to turn it into a natural part of human life, for a creative use of the form of film essay which corresponds to the multi-dimensionality and depth of the subject raised, and for a film contemplation which leaves the audiences with a unique, personal experience.
Special Mention Awarded by People’s Jury:
“Girls Always Happy”, Dir. Yang Tingming, China 2018
For a provocative portrait of women at odds with life and each other, blatant and beguiling in their fight for their place in life.
Congratulations to the winners!
