AFIN recognition
From the Judges, on BEFORE THE DAWN (2025)
From the Judges, on BEFORE THE DAWN
A visual world you want to return to, rich enough that each viewing reveals more of its poetry. The panel found the production and costume design mesmerising in their detail, the whole thing rendered with imaginative craft and an observatory eye for framing, composition, and natural light. They came away moved by a wordless, deeply felt lead performance and a narrative carried through lyrics that read as genuinely poetic.
