Grand Prize<\/strong><\/u><\/em><\/h5>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Republic<\/strong><\/h5>\n
JIN Jiang \/ digital \/ 107min. \/ 2023 (Mainland China)<\/h5>\n
In a small room, young people attempts independence or escape from society, or struggling to find their stand point. They are carefully observed by the filmmaker’s somewhat air-like gaze and camera, which doesn\u2019t make their presence. The relationship between the filmmaker and those filmed is thrilling, and the jury would like to recognize the filmmaker’s ability to contain this into a one feature film.<\/h5>\n

TERAYAMA Shuji Prize<\/strong><\/u><\/em><\/h5>\n
\"\"<\/h6>\n
Queen’s Crochet<\/strong><\/h5>\n
CHO Hanna \/ digital \/ 35min. \/ 2023 (South Korea)<\/h5>\n
A participatory coming -out film weaving through family stories and the routine of knitting. In memory of her grandmother while tracing her passage from childhood to adulthood, we see the director\u2019s obsession to crochet which challenged the idea of this feministic hobby and her own gender confusion with a conviction to achieve an ultimate goal of making a big crochet project. This auto- biographical film is humorous, domestic but captivating.<\/h5>\n

SHIBUYA SKY Prize<\/strong><\/u><\/em><\/h5>\n
\"\"<\/h6>\n
DESK BUGS<\/strong><\/h5>\n
KIM Hakhyun \/ digital \/ 3min. \/ 2024 (South Korea, Japan)<\/h5>\n
The film is awarded in recognition of its vibrant, fresh, and playful punk sensibility, as well as its boundary pushing aesthetic which expands the possibilities of animation art.<\/h5>\n

Award for Excellence<\/strong><\/u><\/em><\/h5>\n
\"\"<\/h6>\n
The House with Nobody<\/strong><\/h5>\n
KITAGAWA Miku \/ digital \/ 15min. \/ 2024 (Japan)<\/h5>\n
A meditative film that gives lights and poetry to an empty house of the director\u2019s grandmother though subtle intervention of tangible objects and remains, while creating intangible memories of the space for the viewers.<\/h5>\n

 <\/p>\n

Award for Excellence<\/strong><\/u><\/em><\/h5>\n
\"\"<\/h6>\n
In Your Shoes<\/strong><\/h5>\n
Florence LAM, CHAN Tze Woon \/ digital \/ 30min. \/ 2024 (Hong Kong)<\/h5>\n
Through correspondence between physical performance and poetic imagery, stories of trauma of a pair of lovers are told in a creative documentary style. We look forward to seeing future works of the filmmakers that delve deeper into the issues within contemporary society.<\/h5>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/h6>\n
She Crossed<\/strong><\/h5>\n
Daisy Ziyan ZHANG \/ digital \/ 18min. \/ 2024 (Minland China, USA)<\/h5>\n
The film is awarded for its unique storytelling ability as a personal documentary that blurs the boundaries between life and art as it creates an unexpected bond between filmmaker and subject.<\/h5>\n
