AFIN recognition

From the Judges, on THIS TOO SHALL PASS (2025)

From the Judges, on THIS TOO SHALL PASS

A quiet, emotionally gripping short about the difficulty of confiding in someone during a painful chapter of life, this film carries its message with real restraint. Understated lead and supporting performances anchor a well-paced structure, and the panel admired the documentary-like camerawork, moonlight blending with the orange glow of a car park into shots composed to suit each scene. Its editing keeps the story moving with an assured, unhurried rhythm.
