Deák Kristóf Winner’s Comment

I made this film to explore the question: is it better to fit into an unjust system or to stand up against injustice and risk destroying a community?
I am really touched by the fantastic response from audiences in Tokyo – I never hoped that my film can resonate so far from home.
I heard some stories from audience members relating to their own childhood difficulties and I was really happy to see that the broader sociological aspect of the film was also recognized by many. I’m really glad we could hit the hearts and minds of audiences in Japan.

KunRu Song Winner’s Comment

Unlike conventional love movies, Anaer does not show the love between the protagonists to the audience directly, but through the contradiction between family members’ reactions, to show the difficult situation Anaer’s love is in.

Audience Award Japan CompetitionAward Winner EVERYTIME WE SAY GOODBYE

kenji qurata/Japan/16:10/Drama/2014

kenji qurata Winner’s Comment

I’d like to express my gratitude for receiving the honorable Audience Award. In my film, I tried to find what lies ahead of “life and death” through the perspective of a married couple. In Japan, it is part of the culture to grieve deeply after you experience someone’s death and as soon as possible, leave the memories behind and move on. Meanwhile in other countries, people believe in continuing the legacy of the deceased. I’ve been drawn to this idea for a while. With illness and all kinds of reasons, we part forever with others. The pain is always hard to heal. The theme of the film is heavy, but I tried to tell this story with a sense of warmth and humor so that it could help us step into the future that lies beyond goodbyes.

Best Actor International CompetitionAward Winner William Aguirre

William Aguirre Winner’s Comment

It is an honor and a big surprise that I could achieved the prize of the Best Actor in the International Category. I still cannot believe it. Even many friends think it’s a joke because in Colombia I work as comedy actor, specifically Stand-up Comedy. I know the competition was very tight because there were great actors as Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert De Niro and Brad Pitt. But my character, Rafael, in the story of “Breakfast with Tiffany” was a tremendously human being and had a huge heart. Thanks to the director of the film, Andres Molano Moncada, we could built a character that would connect with the audience and especially with the jury that gave us this award not only for me but for my country, COLOMBIA. This is my first international award and I am surprised that I could obtained in a country with such a very strict acting tradition as Japan is.
Thanks to the jury and the organizers of Short Shorts because our country had a fantastic showcase for our creativity and Colombian professionalism.
I hope to see you soon into another film.
Hugs,
William Aguirre.

Best Actor Japan CompetitionAward Winner Mitsuo Sagawa

Sento artist, Sugawara Fujio, is forced to give up his family business while he struggles through the loss of his wife. In the tired life of this lonely man, an unexpected occurence brings up an extraordinary change.

Film Details >>

Mitsuo Sagawa Winner’s Comment

While performing Fujio Sugawara’s character, the painter for Japanese public baths, I only said these three lines: “Damn it, you stupid brats!” “Why do I have to worship my own painting?” “The paint odor in that bathroom is going to make me sick… We’re going to miss this place.” I’m not even sure if I’m deserving enough to accept this award.
Either way, it is all thanks to our young crew including the director, who allowed me to receive this honor to win the Best Actor Award. Thank you very much.

Charlotte Beaumont Winner’s Comment

‘Thank you so so much for this best actress award. This is such a prestigious festival and I am so grateful for this recognition from you! This wouldn’t have been possible without the genius that is Toby Fell-Holden who created the concept, the script and made this project so enjoyable. I think it is a really topical and important film, especially now, and I am so grateful it is getting the recognition that it has.
Thank you so much!

Jarunun Phantachat Winner’s Comment

I would like to thank the festival’s committee for giving me this award. It’s such an honor. I would also like to express my gratitude to the director of the film, my co-actors, and the whole crew of ‘Ferris Wheel’.
For me ‘Ferris Wheel’ is an example story of people who want to obtain a better life when their own home is no longer safe. I wish all these stories were non-fiction and the world was safe and beautiful for everyone. But since that’s not yet true, this kind of story should still be told.
