"for the mastership of using all elements of cinema to profoundly explore the psychology of human relations in modern society." FIPRESCI Jury members Andoni Iturbe Tolosa (Spain), Dinu-Ioan Nicula (Romania) and Barbara Gasser (Austria) assigned their Award for the Best Film in the Official Selection to the same film “for bitter and refreshing study of characters, which puts under the focus the condition of the contemporary woman as an insecure, but empowered subject, in the frame of a visionary post-romantic film.” 

The international jury also recognised the British production The Mauritanian [+lire aussi :

with a Special mention, emphasising “the acting prowess of Tahar Rahim and Kevin MacDonald’s directing that compassionately portrayed the suffering of Guantanamo’s prisoners."

The Palić Tower for Best Director went to Ferit Karahan, "for the sensitive way in which he unfolds the social situation in Eastern Turkey" in the Turkish-Romanian co-production Brother’s Keeper [+lire aussi :

After viewing 12 films from the Parallels and Encounters competition program, the International Jury of Critics, made up of Ana Šturm (Slovenia), Dominik Sobolewski (Poland) and Suzana Zlatanović (Serbia), handed their award to the Croatian documentary Nun of Your Business by Ivana Marinić Kragić, describing it as a “formally daring, thematically challenging but also inspiring, warm and funny film that deeply resonated with us.” The jury justified their decision by stating further that “this is a story about the power of love, but also a story about immense amount of courage — the courage to stand up to institutions that still so often form and define our lives, a courage to stand up for ourselves, for our rights, our desires, our love and our freedom(s). This film is important as a bold piece of art, but it is even more important as a message from the people for the people. And the message is: who I am and how I live my life is Nun of Your Business."

Finally, the Critics Jury Special Mention went to the Russian documentary A Boy by young filmmaker Vitaly Akimov, accompanied by an extensive elaboration on the qualities of Akimov’s work: “The jury would like to give a special mention to this brutally honest and deeply personal film that cuts deeply into our guts, and also our hearts — something that only great films and filmmakers are able to do. Even though this is the very first film that the director has ever made, there are some glimpses of genius that only great masters of cinema possess. To have the courage to look straight into the abyss of the pain, misery and fragility of human experience and the ability to transform that into art is truly exceptional. This small and at the same time very big film also tells us something important about the power of art: art saves lives.”

The Gorky List Audience Award was given to Milutin Petrović’s Serbian historical melodrama Impure Blood – Sin of Ancestors, which was shown as part of the Main Competition Program.
