was honoured with the inaugural CEEOL Award for Best Documentary Film, endowed by the Central and Eastern European Online Library with €4,000 in prize money.

The jury stated that the film is “a tribute to the young people living in the ruins of our world”. Boney Piles also received the FIPRESCI Prize, as the jury found it to be “convincing on all levels: artistic, cinematic, human, personal and political”.
