Winner Focus Competition
LA MIF by Fred Baillif
The jury states: "The performances are sensational and happen with a frequency that has rarely been seen in this way. The narrative form, which in the end blossoms magnificently, is a real joy."

Special Mention Focus Competition
HINTER DEN SCHLAGZEILEN (Germany, 2021) by Daniel Andreas Sager – as "this outstanding documentary truly succeeds in giving the Audience a unique insight into investigative journalism. It is pure suspense and a plea for the Fourth Estate – very important in this age of Fake News."

Winner Feature Film Competition
A CHIARA by Jonas Carpignano

The jury unanimously decided to give this award to "a film that both gripped and moved us. We were swept away by the modern take on the Italian neorealist tradition,  the exceptional use of music and sound design and the outstanding performances by Swami Rotolo and her family, all making their film debuts. This film is nothing less than a cinematic masterpiece."
 
Special Mention Feature Film Competition
JOCKEY (USA, 2021) by Clint Bentley – "for this poetic and lyrical film with an incredible performance by Clifton Collins Jr."
BALLAD OF A WHITE COW (Iran, France, 2021) by Behtash Sanaeeha and Maryam Moghaddam – "for this complex blend of the intimate and the political, with outstanding cinematography and performances", as the jury states.
