Best Experimental Short Film: Spirits and Rocks: an Azorean Myth (Switzerland, Portugal) by Aylin Gökmen. “On a volcanic island, inhabitants are caught in an unending cycle: the threat of impending eruptions and earthquakes, and the burden of past traumas loom over them. Some draw upon myth and religious beliefs to interpret their precarious situation, while others demonstrate resilience, rebuilding their villages from the volcanic rocks.
