GRAND PRIZE | BEST CINEMATOGRAPHY | BEST EDITING | BEST SOUND DESIGN | DOCUMENTARY

Grand Prize Documentary - excerpt from the jury’s statement:

Looking, moving,
Looking while in motion,
Moving while looking.
A metamorphosis. A translation. A poem.
A transfer of happiness unfolds.
A series of magic moments.
An artistic whole.
A dense cargo of beauty.
Pure and stirring.
Someone who isn’t searching becomes the person being encountered.
Neither questions nor answers.
Someone who’s facing the world turns us into traveling companions.
Simply looking while on the move.
Transcending the movie theater.
