Reports
At the 17th edition of this festival in the capital city of Slovenia, our prize went to the Hungarian film White Palms (Fehér tenyér), third feature by Szabolcs Hajdu, a partially autobiographical drama about a gymnastics champion. The FIPRESCI jury was especially impressed by its powerful story and the exceptional psychological portrait of protagonists.
