The jury, with Alexandra Cruz (DK), Hoda Elatawi (CA) and Jesper Olyve (NL) praises the team, which “so eloquently and passionately described their film through their written pitch, their in-person presentation and their beautifully crafted trailer, that they gave the jury a clear picture of the passion, the cinematic style, and the authenticity of both the era and the experiences of the main characters… drawn from the director’s own life. We strongly believe that this great project from Latvia will benefit immensely from this assistance and it will help them in the last leg of the journey.”
