Awards

The Award of Excellence goes to a film that plays with time-it moves back and forth in imagination and memory, accentuating that memory is both imagination and power-questioning and doubting everything, even cinema, and yet creating moments of vulnerable poignancy. We are delighted to award Snakeskin by Daniel Hui for it's courageous steps into the terrain of new cinematic language.

To acknowledge the director in his search for truth and for an imaginative cinematographics form to tell the confusion story, full of ghosts, of his country. In "Snakeskin" Daniel Hui succeeds in creating an atmosphear which connects the audience with the regional spiritual reality.
