Statement:

When the jury decisions are known, the festival’s selection committee traditionally awards a prize intended to draw attention to a work that we think is particularly relevant. The Japanese animation Hand Soap uses extraordinary techniques to find impressive images for the physical-psychological experience of an adolescent boy. We are happy to award the 500 euro prize to Oyama Kei.
