Tied with Patricio Guzmán for Mon pays imaginaire (2022). "Two wonderful filmmakers who continue to lead a social struggle, using their unique personal voice. The one deals with the revolution of our time, and with his great talent tells a story about resistance and female empowerment and reminds us that it is possible to change reality. The second director uses animation to show us a chilling view of our reality as human beings, this is a song about war, injustice, evil, but also hope for freedom."

Tied with Rithy Panh for Everything Will Be OK (2022). "Two wonderful filmmakers who continue to lead a social struggle, using their unique personal voice. The one deals with the revolution of our time, and with his great talent tells a story about resistance and female empowerment and reminds us that it is possible to change reality. The second director uses animation to show us a chilling view of our reality as human beings, this is a song about war, injustice, evil, but also hope for freedom."

"A film that is all about an inner journey. We embark on a journey into the dark reality of the lives of a group of teenage prisoners somewhere in the depths of South America, perhaps in Colombia. To the beating and elusive heart of Eliú (Eliú) and his friend and rival, to Mono. The film does not close its eyes to the violent reality. The brutal aggression passed down from generation to generation is his driving force. But as in Jean Genet's books, his heroes, whose actions have no atonement, get a chance at a new life. We give a special mark to the movie 'In the Heart of the Jungle' by Andres Ramirez Pulido."

"We give a special mark to Pablo Schils. He played the character of Tori in a gentle and moving way, and in a rare and exceptional way."

"The camera accompanies the story in perfect harmony, and presents honest and in-depth portraits alongside satirical scenes and images. The lighting and the restrained and modest compositions completely match the character and behavior of the characters in front of the lens."

"An entertaining and biting social satire, which never ceases to entertain and intrigue thanks to exciting performances and bold direction."

"A convention-breaking and refreshing film that combines drama, comedy and social satire. A candid and intimate portrait, and full of anarchic energy, of characters who stand in front of society."

"For the impressive and minimalistic soundtrack that expresses the complexity and tensions inherent in the film's plot."

"We were deeply impressed by the film's confident, convincing and understated storytelling style. The director creates tension and mystery against the background of an increasingly escalating political crisis, which is known to many and well documented. The wonderful acting of the film's heroine breathes life into the story of a profound inner change, which she undergoes amid the chaos unfolding in her country and within her family. The themes of patriarchy and privilege, courage and sacrifice, intertwine and create a story of conflict and great empathy. We are pleased to present the Best Debut Film Award to the film '1976.' Director Manuela Martelli is a promising talent that is recommended to follow. We are proud to pay tribute to an important voice in the field of film creation, today and in the future."

"A cinematic view penetrates the experience of youth under an oppressive regime. The special power of the film lies in its clear focus and personal point of view."
