Jury consisting of Carmen Gray, Matt Porterfield, Amina Handke explained its verdict in the following way: 'It surprised us with its moments of absurd humour and surreal beauty, and the subtle, unexpected way in which it portrayed humans relating to nature and each other. It also impressed us by skilfully balancing exposition and mystery. We’d be really interested to see more from this filmmaker’.
