From the Judges, on IF YOU SHOULD LEAVE BEFORE ME (2025)

From the Judges, on IF YOU SHOULD LEAVE BEFORE ME

A strange, inventive ride that sweeps you along and leaves you sitting with grief, love and the beauty of life all at once. Its imagination struck the panel as genuinely fresh, from shifting aspect ratios and lighting that gives each doorway its own tone to production design dressed with real care in every environment. They also warmed to the wardrobe, the assured direction, and an ensemble whose relationships feel lived in and true, holding the drama and the humour together with equal ease.

Curated, anonymised highlights drawn from the judges' notes.
