-Breakthrough Filmmaking.

"Special mention to an introspective film that boldly exposes the scale and the mechanisms of abuse in a community used to silence - Conventional Sins, by Anat Yuta Zruia & Shira Clara Winther, and to an intimate film that glorifies friendship, introspection, resilience, persistence and some really smooth skating moves - Minding the Gap, by Bing Liu."

"This film is a crucial perspective on American life, gender dynamics and tragic complexity of every day violence. Thru the loving lens of the director, we follow his own and his friends adolescence into early adulthood with their challenges and simple joys, the freedom of youth versus the responsibility of maturity made Minding the gap our choice for best documentary."
