"Fish tank displays an excellently crafted narration structure, a well - balanced pace and a distinguished sense for fine characterization of the protagonists.

PLANTING KISSES / PLANTERA KYSSAR
Ivica Zubak, Sweden

Jury: Izabela Szylko, Mart Kivastik, Andrej Košak, Vanja Kaluđerčić

"MOL award goes to „Planting Kisses" for simple but precise small poetry, a song for life and love, closed in very remarkable form."

AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS AWARD
BIRDWATCHERS
Marco Bechis, Italy, Brasil
Jury: Jelena Dvoržak, Zagorka Golec, Mirta Jušić Dovođa

"In the opinion of this year's Amnesty International Croatia jury, the film that best promotes human rights was Italian-Brazilian film "Birdwatchers". This work of Italian director Marco Bechis strongly addresses the century-old eradication of the Indios, the legitimate inhabitants of Brazilian wilderness who are forced out from their land by white colonizers and isolated in reserves. Besides sending a direct message on the importance of human rights, the film has also reached a high artistic level."
