This year the Stockholm film festival presented 130 movies från 50 countries. The winner for Best film is the Chilean director Felipe Gálvez Haberle with the movie "The Settlers".
The jury's motivation for best film follows:
"This film is a cinematic tour de force, a powerful account of colonialism and the corrupting mechanisms of power that is as uncomfortable and fascinating as it is intellectually stimulating. With its thoughtful use of image and sound, the film creates an atmosphere that is both alien and familiar, drawing the audience into the characters' troubled world. A film that challengingly and inspiringly provides a way into a crucial chapter in Chile's history, capturing the rawness and moral decay. The award for Best Film goes deservedly to "The Settlers".
