Announcing the winners, Festival Director Darryl MacDonald stated: “I couldn’t be more delighted that our juries selected so many films by debuting and emerging directors for honors, in addition to the films they singled out from established filmmakers at this year’s event. In that sense, their choices perfectly reflected the Festival’s own programming choices for this year’s line-up, validating our selections and providing ample evidence of a new generation of exceptional filmmaking talent currently emerging on the world stage.”
