This year, the films competed in five competition sections: New Horizons International Film Competition, Films On Art International Competition, Polish Short Film Competition, European Short Film Competition and Zoom Competition.
In Polish Film Competition, the patron of which is the main partner of the festival, T-Mobile Poland, the first prize was given to the film "Education" by Emi Buchwald. The second prize went to Natalia Siwicka for her film, called "16.03," whereas the third prize was given to Zofia Kowalewska for "Close Ties." The winners were chosen by the international Jury, consisting of: Juan Daniel F. Molero, Kim Yutani, Edvinas Pukšta.
In the competition section – Zoom – for film-makers and visual artists from Wroclaw and Lower Silesia, the best film award went to the film "Goran the Camel Man" by Marcin Lesisz. The winners were chosen by the Jury, consisting of Paweł Ferdek, Katarzyna Klimkiewicz and Katarzyna Wilk of Krakow Film Foundation.
The Audience Award went to the film "All these sleepless nights," directed by Michał Marczak. It is a portrait of contemporary Polish twenty-year-olds, which has a chance to become the manifest of the restless generation born after 1989. For two years, Warsaw streets, clubs, cafes and apartments turned into a natural film set, where was made a very intimate and very true tale about young people in the history of Polish cinema since the times of "Innocent Sorcerers" by Andrzej Wajda.
The full list of award-winning films is on the website of the festival New Horizons.
