The jury of this year’s festival gave special recognition to the film SHE LOVED BLOSSOMS MORE directed by Yannis Veslemes . You can read the jury’s statement below.
The film will be shown at the Art cinema in Brno on October 9.
From the first shot, the director´s multi-dimensional mystery box is visually stunning, transforming a cluttered old house into an entire universe. There is such a joyful sense of play, boldly referencing everything from Narnia to Kubrick to Gilliam, while taking the genre into darkly funny and quirky new realms. And beneath it all is a deeply felt exploration of grief. The judges eagerly await his next film.
