Filmvinnerne Weniff 2024 er:
Publikums Pris: NOKKELBARN
BEST SCREENPLAY: THE MASTERPIECE
A tense and cynical film putting forward the idea that it’s easy to be kind as long as it doesn’t cost you anything, in the tradition of modern Spanish comedies, blending dark humor and absurdity and keeping us on the edge of our seats until the end.
BEST DOC – A letter to Lanka
The beautiful portrait of a personal relationship between the filmmaker and her aunt, balanced with the history and ongoing struggles of Sri Lanka.
Best PHOTOGRAPHY – TITS
Successful attempt to put some poetry back into an hypersexualized environment, with the help of beautiful portraits and a warm and delicate cinematography that matches the story.
BEST NATIONAL SHORT- Nøkkelbarn
A very delicate movie about a kid who has to grow up too fast, that points out the absurdity of dragging kids into family conflicts. A film that says a lot about making decisions and living with them, with an amazing performance, a beautiful photography, and a perfect rhythm.
BEST SHORT – AUXILIAIRE
A funny, touching, and humanist bromance. A film that sheds light on the everyday life of a person with disabilities and his caregiver with a disarmingly natural and honest approach, featuring a stunning performance by both actors.
