With such impressive performances all round, it also captivated us with its warm depiction of an extended family and their response to the most devastating news a family could ever receive. "
The jury awards SPECIAL MENTION for artistic achievement to German-Ukrainian-British co-production DAU. NATASHA directed by Ilya Khrzhanovskiy and Jekaterina Oertel, “for its unbridled depiction of the relationship of the victim and the oppressor, authority and the individual, and the machinery of the totalitarian state.
