This year’s San Sebastian Nest competition for international student short films honored Sara Grgurić’s Croatian relationship drama “In the Woods” with this year’s Nest Award and its accompanying €10,000 cash prize.
“Because of its complexity and its precision, because with little it tells something enormous and because since we saw it, it has stayed with us, we give the award to ‘In the Woods,’” said the jury as they made the announcement.
Spanish production “Pont de Pedra” was also recognized with a Nest Special Mention, “for the respect with which its protagonist is portrayed and because there is magic in every frame.”
