This year, the ARTE Short Film Prize went to Julia Orlik for her diploma animated film – THIS WILL NOT BE A FESTIVAL FILM.

The Jury statement reads:
"The ARTE jury has chosen to award its prize to an animated film from the Łódź school. This autobiographical film takes a sensitive and accurate look at the transitional period that studying represents. It’s a mise en abyme that raises a number of essential questions regarding time management; the need to test an idea and know how to bounce back; and the place of intimacy, ego, and the immeasurable amount of work that goes into an animated film. It’s also a tribute to the family and the need for emotional support that is so widely discussed at schools and universities these days".
