"A new perspective that immediately plunges you into a specific social milieu with an insider's personal narrative. The filmmaker's unique vision and format are both easily digestible and emotionally potent. And the jury was unanimously impressed and awards a special mention to Loran Batti's 'G - 21 Scenes from Gottsunda.'"

"We would like to give a special mention to a true DIY marble about belonging and the reframing of masculinity, made on raw willpower and inexpensive videocameras. It is a film that is continuously in the process of becoming as the director reassesses the past and reshapes the present: 'G - 21 scenes from Gottsunda.'"

"The jury extends a Special Mention to G - 21 Scenes from Gottsunda, a debut film of remarkable candor and bracing tenderness. An artist returns to an underprivileged suburb of Sweden to document the gang life he'd left behind, only to find himself caught for half a decade between attachment to his comrades and the promise of a new life and family away from the streets. Through raw and loving conversations with his friends and increasingly anxious talks with his partner and mother, we're granted an uncommonly honest and ruminative look at the pain of moving on with life."
