YOUTH JURY AWARD 2024
Courageously sincere in vulnerability, we are warmly invited to see a story of a lifetime. Through an eloquent feminist articulation of personal archives that circle in a nonlinear time frame, we are touched by the film’s profound reflection on childhood experiences, growing up, relationships, and family bonds. And the winner is This Is Raquel’s Not-so-secret Diary by Raquel Agea Ramos.
