Looking back at the 2023 winners

Looking back at the 2023 winners

Before the festival had a room, it had a results page. The 2023 edition is worth revisiting, partly because the work holds up and partly because several of the names on it have kept going.

Best Feature Film

Una Llave Hacia El Pasado, or Key To The Past, by Mauro Mauad.

Best Short Film

In Too Deep by Chris Overton.

Best Short Animation

Ghosts by James Morris and Maria Tilt.

Joint winners in documentary

Best Feature Documentary went to two films that year: Black Sugar Red Blood by Luigi Toscano, and Oxigen by Vitaly Lazo and Olga Borodina.

The rest of it

Seventeen categories, and a nominations list that runs to well over a hundred names across the archive as a whole. The full 2023 results, with every nomination, are on the 2023 winners page, and the archive goes back to 2021.

If your film is in there, the laurels are yours to use.
