The jury Grand Prix was awarded to Spain’s “Muyeres” with China’s Liu Jin winning the best director prize.
“Yoko,” directed by Kumakiri Kazuyoshi, who earlier this year saw melodramatic “#Manhole” play in Berlin, takes the structure of a road-movie and is a journey of self-discovery of a woman who had been socially isolated in her apartment for many years. Portrayed by global star, the woman is forced to confront the real world, and herself, when she takes a 658 kilometre cross-country journey to her father’s funeral.
