The Great Rabbit Gurêto rabitto
Atsushi Wada This dreamlike film uses a unique, surreal language to tickle our unconscious while showing us the confusion of the modern world in animated form. Using a delicate hand drawn style, Atsushi Wada decodes reality with absurd sequences of characters caught in time.

Our Homeland Kazoku no kuni
Yong-hi Yang The film's many deeply affecting scenes and strong cast serve to successfully explore a particular chapter in contemporary North Korean history. Thanks to the nuanced characters, the viewer comes to understand the devastating effects that politics and ideology can have on the individual. The jury therefore highly recommends this movie to the CICAE cinemas.
Winner
C.I.C.A.E. Award / Panorama
Death for Sale Baya Al Maut
Faouzi Bensaïdi for its respectful and original reflection of the genre film noir; for its tragic and emotional power; for its force as a document of the impasse of a certain youth at the moment of the breakout of the Arab spring; for his aesthetic ambition and his attitude as cineast.

Night of Silence Lal Gece
Reis Çelik We were deeply touched by the brilliant actors in this year's winning film. They let us take part in the feelings of two people who are imprisoned by family traditions which do not leave them any space for their own decision making and needs. We were especially impressed by the film's setting - a room where the drama unfolds. Just as for the couple, it is impossible for the audience to leave it.

Sam Holst The film shows us, just in a few minutes, the radical path from childhood to adulthood. Using authentic images the film portrays the rituals of a closed community which you cannot escape from. The film exemplifies peer pressure and social pressure which can be found in all societies. For us, it has all the qualities necessary for a great short film.

Crystal Bear - Special Mention / Generation 14plus - Best Film
The Crown Jewels Kronjuvelerna
Ella Lemhagen Friendship, love, family, the divide between poor and rich, disabilities and sickness were only a few of the themes flowing effortlessly into one another in this complex and many-layered film. The fairytale style does not in any way detract from the dramatic sequence of events. The great acting brought forth the entire spectrum of emotions, from which the audience had no escape. This film touched us deeply. A real masterpiece!

Isamu Hirabayashi Visuals and sound melded together flawlessly to create a philosophical and layered masterpiece. The director conveys his message, beyond all conventions. Through a simple metaphor he portrays the survival of a culture, even in the face of catastrophe.

Billie Pleffer Without words, we are told the story of a lonely boy who risks his very life in search of friendship. It was the eyes of the lead actor in particular that we found so fascinating.
Winner
Deutsches Kinderhilfswerk - Special Award / Best Short Film
Bino Bino
Billie Pleffer Our winning film is an extremely cinematic portait of otherworldly boys. We loved the film's rebelliousness, its beautiful compositions, its lack of dialogue, its world of isolated youth - tense, imaginative and full of risk.
Winner
Deutsches Kinderhilfswerk - Special Mention / Best Feature Film
Gattu Gattu
Rajan Khosa We felt the potential for life's wonders could be seen in every child's eye; and in particular, the boundless ingenuity of the young rascal was utterly compelling. Along with the heavenly dueling spectacle throughout, this combination created a humorous, energetic and joyous ride. We award this film for capturing the ironies, the complexities and the vitality of India.
Winner
Deutsches Kinderhilfswerk - Special Mention / Best Short Film

Thais Fujinaga Our Special Mention goes to a film about young people not comfortable in their own bodies. We loved the way the theme emerges visually, not through dialogue, and the bold way in which the kids hurt each other. The film is funny and true about youth, and features a great romantic moment when toes seem to kiss each other.
Winner
Deutsches Kinderhilfswerk Grand Prix / Best Feature Film
Kauwboy Kauwboy
Boudewijn Koole Through a distinctly intimate style we are sucked into and moved by a young boys struggle for finding his way out of almost unbearable grief. Beautiful cinematic moments, a little black bird and blue bubble gum are the ingredients that make this a truly original film. A story about love, and the dark and light moments of a father and a son.

Kim Nguyen The horror of a young girl's life when taken from her village by rebels to be trained as a child soldier is depicted through scenes of Congo warfare, softened by the sweet innocence of a youthful love.
