"Using vibrant cinematography and the energetic rhythms of 90s house music to directly oppose its bleak setting of a grey post - Soviet era, the jury has selected the Belarussian film "Crystal Swan". This feature debut of young female director Darya Zhuk is made with talent and promising professional skills. Crystal Swan is a fascinating study of the post-communist youth."

"A marvelously vivid film filled with color and hope, Rafiki was initially banned in its native Kenya for its sensitive, gripping portrayal of two young women falling in love across boundaries of class, politics, and mobility. Its undying heart, however, cements its narrative vitality in a period global human rights retrenchment."

"We are delighted to award director Wanuri Kahiu with the Young Programmer's Choice Award. Rafiki is not only an excellent exhibition of Kahiu's talent as a filmmaker but also an outstanding portrayal of love in the face of adversity."
