The Class

The jury felt that this was a very powerful film that grabbed the audience from the first scene to the very end. It had extremely accomplished performances from the entire cast and it was also technically brilliant. The film dealt honestly and directly with a very difficult subject.

Marcinek Children's Jury Prize

As we have had difficulty giving just one main prize this year, we have decided to award two films.

The Marcinek prize goes to the film Buddha Collapsed out of Shame (Buda az sharm foru rikht), an Iranian-French coproduction directed by Hana Makhmalbaf, for dealing with the problems of war, lack of access to education and cross-cultural differences. This is a picture about children who live in the world where the continual struggle for survival results in indifference to others.

Marcinek goes also to the film The Three Robbers (Die Drei Rauber) made in Germany and directed by Hayo Freitag, for winning our hearts, for its excellent animation and very good music. What surprised us was its extraordinary attention to detail and perfection of the film as a whole. The movie shows the power of friendship and brings people together with its universal message.

Marcin Young People's Jury Prize

The Young People’s Jury of the 26th International Young Audience Film Festival Ale Kino!, comprising: Anna Kiedrzynek, Jakub Dobroszek, Michał Wilkołazki, Jakub Socha, and Michał Walkiewicz, having seen twenty seven competition films, decided to award the main prize and one honourable mention.

The honourable mention for the best music trio of the last few years goes to KJFG NO. 5 directed by Alexei Alexeev.

The main prize - for proving that youth is not only synchronic suicides, mass murders and dance shows in the streets; that youth is something more than just dirty slums, bleak suburbs and sensual French girls; that youth is also slow days turning into slow nights, when you can roam the city, make your first deals, cure a broken heart and discover that it isn’t any easier for grown-ups - goes to THE WACKNESS directed by Johnathan Levine.
