Jury Statement:
Broken Voices, directed by Ondřej Provazník, takes on a highly sensitive subject and moves beyond controversy, side issues, and passing trends to delve deeply into characters who fluctuate between being seen as victims or heroes. In a tense yet precise and carefully controlled atmosphere, the filmmaker succeeds in connecting the world of his young protagonists with a choir, beautifully blending the subject with music. With remarkable performances from all the actors and meticulous direction, the film earned the unanimous agreement of all of us on the FIPRESCI jury.
The FIPRESCI is proud to announce that the FIPRESCI Platinum Award 2026 was presented to acclaimed Iranian filmmaker Jafar Panahi.
