Check out the festival's award categories and their winners below:
Narrative Award (for Best Narrative Feature)
Winner: Autumn Blood directed by Markus Blunder (Austria)
High in the mountains, a widowed mother dies, leaving her two children orphaned. Fearing being split up they keep their mother's death a secret. They survive until villagers destroy their innocence when they brutally assault the girl. Now the siblings must come of age to protect each other and survive.
Documentary Award (for Best Documentary Feature)
Winner: Walking the Camino directed by Lydia Smith (Spain)
Six determined strangers on a life-changing journey across Spain. Whatever their motivation, no one can predict just how their paths will unfold, what personal demons or angels they will face, or what transformations they will undergo by trail's end.
Short Film Award (for Best Short Film)
Winner: The Bright Side directed by Sarah Wilson Thacker (U.S.)
1940's Hollywood glitz, glamour, and the promise of the American dream meets the harsh, gritty reality of a world at war in this musical romance, where Leonard Lewis, a young theatre performer, races against time and confusion to vie for the heart of the girl of his dreams - before it's too late.
Emerging Filmmaker Award (for nascent local filmmaker)
Winner: Autumn Wanderer directed by Nathan Sutton (U.S.)
While dealing with his father's schizophrenia, and the very real possibility of it being passed down, Charlie meets the woman of his dreams.
