Jury members: Tjaša Hafner, Izak Kabir Khan, Anej Košorok, Lara Matos, Anais Vrtunski
The Sweet East (Sean Price Williams) 
Jury statement
Of the five films competing for the Kinotrip Young Jury Prize, the film we found most convincing was the odyssey of social extremes whose engrossing dynamic pace hurled us into the political chaos of the United States. In drawing attention to social disunity, fragmentation and the threat of ideologies, the film also transcends geographical boundaries. Replete with various references, the road movie with fantastical dimensions captivated us with its dreamy photography that generates absurdities, digresses, and questions the perspective of the viewer and, through it, the society. We were astounded by the uncompromising satire and irony abounding in caricatures of characters. The film relentlessly criticizes both everything and nothing – not even taking itself seriously. The Kinotrip Young Jury Prize goes to the adventurous, sharp, relentless, and magical The Sweet East by Sean Price Williams. 

AKMS – SLOVENIAN ART CINEMA ASSOCIATION AWARD 
Jury members: Kaja Čop, Gregor Janežič, Luka Vidic
Four Little Adults / Neljä pientä aikuista (Selma Vilhunen)
Jury statement
Skilfully interlacing drama and comedy, Four Little Adults shows what happens when a love triangle becomes a quadrangle.
It holds the audience enthralled with a broad cast of characters, comic twists and dramatic thrusts centring around the imminent disintegration of relationships, while skilfully leading towards a safe, somewhat idealistic ending. Challenging the stereotype of monogamy and embracing the guiding principle of true love, the film’s main assets are the brilliant lead actress, as well as the amazing cast, lighting, photography and music. All these elements build the atmosphere of the film, flowing seamlessly together into a coherent whole. A film that lingers in viewers’ minds long after the closing credits.
