      Winner

      Vivek

      8.8 (231)
      Anand Patwardhan
      "The IDFA Award for Best Feature-Length Documentary is unanimously given to Reason by Anand Patwardhan for the epic storytelling of the rise of the far right in one of the most populated countries of this planet, the violence of religious and ultranationalist militias with the support of authorities and dominant medias, the dignity of resistance in multiple forms, often at life-cost, in a way that acknowledges the complexity of the situation but put it in a very understandable shape."

      Bettina Perut
      "The IDFA Special Jury Award for Feature-Length Documentary goes to Los Reyes by Bettina Perut and Iván Osnivikoff (Chile, Germany) for the creative and beautiful way it displaces the viewer gaze by associating a sensible look at non-human wonderful characters and the soundtrack that connects daily lives of animal and human stray dogs"

      I Signed the Petition

      6.1 (161)
      Mahdi Fleifel
      The jury was unanimous in its favor for one film, and for this year's award for best short documentary we chose a film that has simplicity at its heart, in means as well as form. In between the funny, razor-sharp, harsh lines of text, wrapped and constructed along poetic, subjective images and interesting sounds, dooms the filmmaker's vulnerability and fear over yet again something so seemingly simple: his own signature.
