Special Jury Prize, given to the second best film in the international competition section, worth 30.000 CHF.
The jury stated: This is a film with restrained but impeccabla camerawork, a narrative trajectory that hurtles forward with breathtaking directional confidence, and a central performance that is utterly riveting.
Europa Cinemas Label Prize, awarded from cinema exhibitors providing support for the promotion of the film releases.
The jury stated: A highly energetic piece of filmmaking that can best be described as a punch in the face.
Boccalino d'Oro awarded by the independent film critics.
