"The jury awards Best Documentary Short to In the Morning Sun for its warm, observant portrait of a multi-generational family and the quiet passage of time. The film covers a lot of ground while feeling effortless – personal without being indulgent, cinematic without losing its intimacy. Its vision is sharp and clever, its humor unexpected, and its handling of themes of mortality and home genuinely moving. A refreshing, artfully restrained piece of filmmaking."
