Motivation for the winner:

Some Rain Must Fall’ creates possibilities beyond the established female archetypes in Asia, presenting a woman’s self-consciousness and decision-making. Through its highly refined aesthetics, we can see the intensity and necessity of the filmmaker’s creative drive. From the confinement and escape within specific spatial boundaries, to the pervasive social violence and the struggle to break free, both the writing and direction, as well as the cinematography, have completed a highly intricate dialectic.
