Best Short Documentary
Oasis
Directed By: Justine Martin
Jurors; Giovanna Morales, JJ Neepin, Francine Zuckerman: “Oasis effortlessly reflects on the extraordinary power of unconditional love. The film, with its poetic narrative and contemplative imagery provides a canvas for viewers to feel, more than understand, the deep-rooted connection that exists not just between twins, but specifically between the two main subjects in the story. Their bond transcends the literal constraints of their individual experiences, and its visceral representation in the film shows the power of the documentary form when put to good use.”
Honourable Mention: Wabanaki Modern, Evelyn
