JURY'S FAVORITE
The Poor and The Beautiful – Muut (The Others)
The jury's reasoning:

The film was complete and clear without over-explaining. The topic was well-defined, and the opening and closing texts worked well. The story felt personal, but not closed off. The conversations were like talks between friends, which made the topic approachable. The film moved smoothly between the experiences of three people. Filming in a public space brought the characters and subject into the societal framework. The inventive use of locations and small details supported the narrative also through the action. The roughness in the picture suited the style of the film and made it feel authentic. The inclusive and interactive style brought joy, humor and community to a difficult subject.

The film is also shortlisted in the categories of KUVA (IMAGE) and IDEA/KÄSIKIRJOITUS (IDEA/SCRIPT).
