Awards

For "its originality in portraying the love between two friends, in its urge for freedom, autonomy, loyalty in a violent world, and bringing us to situations in a way that we have never seen before. [It's] a perfectly directed film where all elements come together in a unique universe of its own."

Statement of the Youth Jury: "All of the films we've seen were of high quality, making it really hard for us to choose a winner, which is why we would like to give out a special mention on top of our main jury award. Our special mention goes to a feature film about a young woman's determination to leave her rough town: FIRECRACKERS, directed by Jasmin Mozaffari."
