by Mati Diop won the Sutherland Award for Best First Film. Jessica Hausner, First Feature Competition jury president, lauded the ghost story in which the men in Dakar have vanished, stating, “This film dares to invent a poetic fable, which is mysterious and challenging.” Atlantics debuted in competition at Cannes, where Cineuropa delighted in its peculiarities, calling it a “bold, unique and eclectic cocktail.” The First Feature Competition jury also gave a Special Commendation to Bora Kim’s House of Hummingbird.

by Rubika Shah won the Grierson Award for Best Documentary. The movie blends fresh interviews with archive footage to profile the Rock Against Racism music protest movement. Yance Ford, Documentary Competition jury president, commented, “In the spirit of the Grierson Award criteria, White Riot is both a provocation and a tremendous opportunity… Rubika Shah has used the power of film to remind us of where we have been and asks how long it will take us to change course.”

Soheil Amirsharifi’s Fault Line won the Short Film Award. Jacqui Davis, Short Film Competition jury president, said, “This is a film that provoked intense discussion, as we continued to decode it long after watching it.” The Short Film Competition jury also gave a Special Commendation to If You Knew by Stroma Cairns.
