'We are extremely proud of these directors' accomplishments and we are honored to have had these films as part of the festival,' festival co-founder Jane Rosenthal said.
'It's especially gratifying and exciting to see that the members of our juries selected an extremely diverse group of films - in terms of both their themes and their countries of production - and that the majority of the prizes are going to film-makers and performers who are all at an early stage of their careers,' artistic director Peter Scarlet said.
