Mumbai top award to ARE YOU SLEEPING, BROTHER JAKOB?

The 15th Mumbai international film festival awards Are You Sleeping, Brother Jakob, Stefan Bohun’s moving essay about grief and brotherhood, with the Golden Conch for best documentary film.“

 
The Mumbai jury stated:

A deconstruction of pain that transcends time to bring closure to a grieving family. The narrative emphasizes time itself through the deliberate use of prolonged shots and archival footage which opens the cracks in the perfect image of a family that have faced the suicide of their brother. Its a wakeup call to notice the things unsaid.
