The winners:

Stratum
2018, HD video, 12 mins.

Jury's motivation:
‘Stratum’ is a fluid meditation superbly cutting across film-making and archival practice. Its narrative style effectively interlaces various temporalities, diffracting the lives of people and minerals, and envisioning the historical metamorphosis of places - Crosscuts Jury
