- GRAND PRIX goes to film “FREEZE FRAME” directed by Soetkin Verstegen. Co-produced in Belgium and Germany.
In this film, the author is playing with the metaphoric aspect of the phrase, well known in the world of cinema.

This film is a minimalistic homage to the art of cinema that, in a poetic way, opens space for different readings.
