From the Judges, on The Rocket (2026)

From the Judges, on The Rocket

A quiet piece about memory and the pull of the things we build with the people we love. Soft, dreamlike light and wide open frames carry the film's warmth, and the score sits beautifully alongside a story told simply and given room to breathe. Grounded, truthful performances hold it all together, down to what passes across a face without a word.

Curated, anonymised highlights drawn from the judges' notes.
