Biberstein Gusmão Award for best emerging director
Jury statement for the award: “Adolescences happens in the porousness between
body, gestures, reality and dreams. It’s a kind of raw and pure force, fragile
sensibility and unexpected strength. This film offers us the world of teenagers
through an exercise of simplicity, by escaping every cliché we might be expecting.
It places us in front of a mirror and takes us to the time when everything had the
force of the entire world.”

Principal Prize of the International Jury
Jury statement for the award: "By turns intense and gentle, this genre-bending
film explores the complex reality of living on the edge, and engaging with

an outstanding approach to film portraiture."
