For the strength and character of the main character. For the dynamic editing. For the dramatic tension. For the message it sends out despite a certain omerta in sport. Our choice was the short film Amplified by Dina Naser.

Blending documentary and other narrative forms, the filmmaker explores the potential of a future project through mise-en-scène. This production fund supports her vision, encouraging new narrative perspectives. Her work promises fresh and thought-provoking storytelling. And the winner is Unser Name ist Ausländer (Our Name is Foreigner) by Selin Besili.

This film excels in direction, acting, visuals, and sound, creating a powerful bridge between the audience and its story and immersing us with nuances and deepens our awareness of what ‘home’ truly means. And the winner is Fenni in Wonderland by Fei Fan.

The director elegantly mixes many different story layers and shooting formats that perfectly blend with the personal yet socially and emotionally relevant topic. by that the director shows us in a intimate way what’s like to feel foreign even in your home country. For this we award the prize to Unser Name ist Ausländer.
