It has happened again. 52 Tuesdays has the Crystal Bear for the Generation 14+ category, while the short film Emo-The Musical from Neil Triffett has a special commendation.
The system is divided into International Jury and Youth Jury categories; the Australians were singled out by the youth juries. So a bunch of teenagers cast their vote for 52 Tuesdays, a picture about a bunch of teenagers confronting some tough issues. Like Mum’s gender change after the collapse of the live-in family.
Said the jury, “The situation is exceptional but familiar. This year’s winning movie is both suprising and touching. It is a movie about family and the quest for identity, and despite all the conflicts, the protagonists stay connected through their love to each other. The moving story is presented in a fascinating structure and convinces with strong characters, humour, clever ideas and sensitivity.”
Of Emo the jury said, “This year’s special mention goes to a movie that takes a look at group identity and peer pressure, with a surprising and pleasant lightness of touch. It convinced us with its firework of funny dialogues, melodies and humour, making fun of itself while never becoming ridiculous.”
In competition, the Golden Bear went to Black Coal, Thin Ice, the Chinese film from Diao Yinan. The silver was taken by The Grand Budapest Hotel to the satisfaction of Wes Anderson.
