The international jury – chaired by French actress-writer-director Myriam Mézières, and also made up of Spanish producer Marina Perales Marhuenda, French composer Jean-Michel Bernard, Palestinian filmmaker Najwa Najjar, and Tunisian author and film theorist Tarek Ben Chaabane – considered the brutal tale So She Doesn't Live [+leggi anche:

(a production by Bosnia and Herzegovina) by Faruk Loncarevic to be deserving of the Golden Palm, an award endowed with €25,000, and the top prize of the 36th edition of the Mostra de València – Cinema del Mediterrani. The reasoning behind this decision was that it “required the audience to adopt an active attitude, and offered a reflection on a society that has not recovered from the violence of the past and that, for that very reason, is condemned to repeat it over and over again”.

, the feature debut by Louda Ben Salah-Cazanas, who offers up a shrewd generational portrait with a pronounced social emphasis. In the jury’s opinion, it was deserving of the prize “for its totally honest treatment of intimate relations, introducing a seemingly light poetic burden, which is actually laden with complexity".

In accordance with the cooperation agreement between TV channel À Punt and the Mostra de València, the À Punt Audience Award is given out to a film in the Informative Section that is deemed to be the best by those attending the festival’s screenings: the lucky winner was Broken Keys, a Lebanese production directed by Jimmy Keyrouz. The feature is set in 2014, in a Middle Eastern city besieged by a group of ISIS extremists who have banned all modern ways of life and contemporary music. The award entails the acquisition of broadcasting rights by À Punt Mèdia.

Furthermore, the jury gave out the following trophies: Best Director to Alex Camilleri for his work on Luzzu [+leggi anche:
