Best Film: "Nickel Boys" by director RaMell Ross
The jury’s motivation for Best Film to Nickel Boys by RaMell Ross reads:
“A masterful and impactful film that, through its choice of perspective, immerses us in the character’s harrowing journey into the dark history of racism and segregation in the United States. At the same time, it presents a moving and powerful story of friendship and courage, standing tall even in the face of darkness. A film that innovatively explores the full spectrum of cinematic expression, resonating deeply and bridging the past with the present.”
