Prize of the Ecumenical Jury (International Competition)

For employing minimalist animation with live action resurrected from family archives this film transports the viewer through Ansbach and the inner space of one woman's journey to find her great-grandfather who went through the labour camps of the Second World War. Making the past present, and bringing together history, documentary and critical personal reflection, Dear Leo Sokolosky is a wondrous cinematic diary that gives us the rare opportunity to pull back the curtain and peer into the depths of a human soul.
