Among the competitors in the under 25 category was Adrian Asllani's film "Ninullë."
During the award ceremony, jury member Mr. Aaron Asteria declared: "The film 'Ninullë' has sparked a great debate within the jury because it intertwines perspectives ranging from Goethe's ballad 'Der Erlkönig' to Freud's approach to parent/child relationships. After much deliberation, the jury, without hesitation, concluded that this is the best film."
It's worth mentioning that "Ninullë" has received its fifth award for this film from seven festivals where it has been screened so far.
