From the Judges, on In The Heart Of The Machine
It struck the panel as a work of art, as cold and bleak as the landscape it was shot in, and beautifully realised. The camerawork drew genuine admiration for how visually stunning it is, and the performances landed alongside production values that reach well beyond the ordinary. Drama, tension, sorrow, and heart arrive in careful measure, leaving the panel with a simple reaction: wow.
