Jury citation: Being able to craft and express nuance in a 90+ minute feature is quite a feat, but to be able to do that in 20 minutes or less is a wildly impressive task. This short kept us on the edge of our seats, but also left us thinking about it and its commentary long after we left the theater. From its writing to its direction and performances, this film felt as if it was crafted by a team that’s been making stories together for a lifetime. The winner of the Short Film Grand Jury Prize is The Masterpiece, directed by Alex Lora Cercos.
The Masterpiece (La gran obra), directed by Àlex Lora, is an original idea by writer and producer Lluís Quílez, co-written with Alfonso Amador. Production companies include:
Euphoria Productions, Handful Films, Filmakers Monkeys & Calabaza Films.
