Commendation of the Ecumenical Jury (International Competition)

For inviting us into the atmospheric care-free world of childhood, a film which captures two sisters walking through the night as their father works as a security guard for an affluent neighbourhood. Contrasting the loneliness of locked up condominiums with the freedom of sisters discovering an open and wide world, Nocturne is a delicate work of social critique and an existential reminder of what it really means to live life embraced by love.
