One World International Competition Jury Award for Best Film goes to Apolonia, Apolonia by Lea Glob. It presents the story of the French painter Apolonia Sokol, whom the director followed for thirteen years.

„Through a mesmerizing, larger-than-life character, it gets at the universal, bittersweet truth of how life unfolds as we come of age: as a roller coaster where outside forces and compromises challenge internal resolve. Shot with a raw, intimate camera over 13 years, this bittersweet, delightful journey reveals the impossibility of ever fully knowing another person, and the profound truth that identity is never fixed; we are always evolving and inventing ourselves,“

commented the jury.
