Nate Parker "In the words of the recently and dearly departed Alan Rickman, 'The more we're governed by idiots and have no control over our destinies, the more we need to tell stories to each other about who we are, why we are, where we come from, and what might be possible.' This year the winner embodies this notion singularly and accomplishes it with grand cinematic vision. Most of all, it challenges each of us to carry a riotous disposition for injustice and the system that preserve it everywhere and in doing so, it is both timeless and right on time."

Nina Gantz "This film takes us deep into a man's memories and his psyche as it contemplates suicide. It is high concept and emotional but it really is a gorgeous tragedy about the all-consuming power of love. We felt the characters and sets are so exquisitely rendered so tactile that we want it to just reach into the screen and hug the main character."

Maïmouna Doucouré "Frame for frame, scene for scene, this story unfolds beautifully. The director definitely draws us into many points of view within a family in a midst of a crisis but its her sensitive portrayal of an eight year old girl and the emotional impact on her and her father that won us over. This piece exhibits excellence in writing and directing. It's a staggering debut that leaves us eager to see more from her."
Winner
Short Film Jury Prize / Non-Fiction
Bacon & God's Wrath Bacon & God's Wrath
Sol Friedman "This is a doc with a very very simple hook about a woman who decides to eat bacon for the first time at 90 years old. And that simple idea blossoms into this exploration of faith, obedience, and even the power of the internet; And it pairs this no nonsense narration with half a dozen different cells of quirky animation that we just loved."
Winner
Short Film Special Jury Prize
Peacock Furiant
Ondrej Hudecek Best Direction: "This is a bloody period piece that ties together huge panoramas and minimalist animation; the direction and cinematography, which this filmmaker also did himself, is flawlessly inventive and clever."
Winner
Her Friend Adam Her Friend Adam
Grace Glowicki Outstanding Performance: "This is to an actress who plays a girlfriend who may or may not be having an emotional affair with her gay bestfriend. What we are definitely certain of is that this actress is a brave and fearless talent and we are not choosing that because this movie has unhinged or fake orgasm scene."
