From the Judges, on MOUNTAIN BOY (2024)

From the Judges, on MOUNTAIN BOY

Radiant cinematography carries this short, from reflections caught in still water to sweeping aerial views of the mountains and the beautiful locations they frame. The journey of a young boy travelling into the highlands with a dog companion unfolds with a heartfelt, richly told sense of place, its production and costume design and glimpses of traditional custom drawing the viewer fully into that way of life. A warm and generous piece of filmmaking that they found genuinely worthy of recognition.

Curated, anonymised highlights drawn from the judges' notes.
