Writer and director Megan Park delivers a timely, riveting, and thought-provoking film on the toll it takes on a teenager who is facing a world where they no longer feel safe. It is an intense, moving piece that highlights an important issue to which one can\u2019t help but feel connected.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Special Jury Recognition for Multi-hyphenate Storyteller:<br \/>\nDirectors: Kelley Kali, Angelique Molina<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKelley Kali\u2019s I\u2019m Fine (Thanks for Asking), financed in part by stimulus relief checks, is a marvel of multitasking and resourcefulness. Kali\u2019s film, which she wrote, directed, produced and stars in, winningly captures the pandemic plight of a homeless, roller-skating single mother over a memorable daylong odyssey.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Special Jury Recognition for Breakthrough Performance: Islands<br \/>\nDirector: Martin Edralin<br \/>\nActor: Rogelio Balagtas<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIslands gives us the story of a painfully shy man set adrift in the world by the declining health of the parents who sheltered him. This story, of someone blooming late in life, hinges on the tremendously compelling, interior performance from relative newcomer Rogelio Balagtas who can break hearts throughout with his tears and enables the movie to transcend with a single smile.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>DOCUMENTARY FEATURE COMPETITION<\/p>\n<p>Winner: Lily Topples the World<br \/>\nDirector: Jeremy Workman<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA joyful portrait of grace in artistry and commitment in engineering, Lily Topples the World shows a life online that transcends virality and touches something deeper. In Lily Hevesh, aka Hevesh5, the film features a collaborative, creative soul who comes by community and entrepreneurship naturally. A rare achievement in nonjudgmental subcultural exploration and a gorgeously rendered portrait of burgeoning adulthood that tumbles forward, like Lily\u2019s domino art, into something beautiful.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Special Jury Recognition for Exceptional Intimacy in Storytelling: Introducing, Selma Blair<br \/>\nDirector: Rachel Fleit<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSelma Blair\u2019s unflinching and raw vulnerability in Introducing, Selma Blair, coupled with director Rachel Fleit\u2019s almost voyeuristic chronicling of her MS diagnosis, invites us not just to feel empathy for the star. More than that, it invites us into her fight, prompting anyone watching to feel joined with her in battle. That level of disarming intimacy is rarely witnessed on screen, particularly from a public figure, making the feat all the more incredible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Special Jury Recognition for Humanity in Social Action: Not Going Quietly<br \/>\nDirector: Nicholas Bruckman<\/p>\n<p>\u201cActivist is a word much used in contemporary culture. But few give expression to it like Ady Barkan, a California organizer who, upon being diagnosed with ALS in his early 30s, responds not with self-pitying convalescence but by barnstorming his fight across the country, bringing a movement with him. Barkan\u2019s tale suggests that grace is not incompatible with ardor, and hardship no obstacle to achievement. Bruckman\u2019s film captures him and the powerful women who lead his fight in ways that are richly human, always affectionate and frequently rousing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Short Film Grand Jury Awards<\/p>\n<p>NARRATIVE SHORTS<\/p>\n<p>Winner: Play It Safe<br \/>\nDirector: Mitch Kalisa<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe were so thrilled by the varied, inventive selection of films in the Narrative Shorts competition this year. Of the shorts, we have decided to award the Jury Award to Play It Safe, for approaching oft-addressed topics in a new way, for its incredible main performance, for its thoughtful direction, and compelling cinematography.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Special Jury Recognition for Visionary Storytelling: Don\u2019t Go Tellin\u2019 Your Momma<br \/>\nDirectors: Topaz Jones, rubberband.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are awarding Don\u2019t Go Tellin\u2019 Your Momma a Special Jury Recognition for Visionary Storytelling for its bold filmmaking and mix of music, visuals, and documentary footage.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Special Jury Recognition for Direction: Like the Ones I Used to Know<br \/>\nDirector: Annie St-Pierre<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are awarding Like the Ones I Used to Know a Special Jury Recognition for Direction, as its weaving between reality and flights of fancy make it a Christmas tale to remember. Congratulations to all of the filmmakers this year, and thank you for your new works!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>DOCUMENTARY SHORTS<\/p>\n<p>Winner: \u00c1guilas<br \/>\nDirectors: Kristy Guevara-Flanagan, Maite Zubiaurre<\/p>\n<p>\u201c\u00c1guilas is a film that most poignantly displays the need immigrants feel to come to America \u2014 even at the cost of starvation and death. Failed attempts are presented by a backpack, a sweater, and scattered bones. How desperate the dream is of a perfect landing that ends so tragically.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Special Jury Recognition for Courage: Red Taxi<br \/>\nDirector: Anonymous<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRed Taxi is a film that is being recognized for its courage. The type of courage that spans the definition of the word. The subjects are courageous, the filmmakers are courageous and the film itself is courageous both stylistically and in the way it speaks on an issue through editing that is measured, considered and understanding of the complexities of the post-colonial project.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Special Jury Recognition for Poetry: I Ran From It and Was Still in It<br \/>\nDirector: Darol Olu Kae<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIts title invites audiences to expect a wholly distinct storytelling experience and this film delivers. For it\u2019s audacious storytelling through textured imagery, bold structure and lyrical approach, we award this special achievement to I Ran From It and Was Still In It.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>MIDNIGHT SHORTS<\/p>\n<p>Winner: The Moogai<br \/>\nDirector: Jon Bell<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Moogai is a haunting, psychological thriller that explores postpartum depression in an impressive display of disciplined filmmaking that stuck the landing at every pivotal moment. The cinematography is striking, the actor\u2019s performances are brave, and the underlying commentary on a country\u2019s forced removal of generations of children is heartbreaking. Filmmaker Jon Bell\u2019s film affected us on so many levels that we proudly recognize it with the Jury Award prize.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Special Jury Recognition for Bold Vision: Stuffed<br \/>\nDirector: Theo Rhys<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStuffed proudly presents a story grisly and grotesque yet beautifully bittersweet. Director and co-writer Theo Rhys stitches together a world of rot, flesh, and leather, then brings it to radiant life with curious characters and striking songs of dark dreams, lifting love, and the ultimate sacrifice. It is with shock and awe that we award this strange and sensational short a Jury Recognition for Bold Vision.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>ANIMATED SHORTS<\/p>\n<p>Winner: Nuevo Rico<br \/>\nDirector: Kristian Mercado<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBe prepared for this dystopian tragedy to rip your hair out by the roots and pour liquid vaporwave rainbows directly onto your brain\u2019s tongue. A cautionary tale of friendship and fame, Nuevo Rico slaps convention to the ground and stomps on it with steel toed boots of satisfying stylistic innovation. Kristian Mercado Figueroa doesn\u2019t give a fuck \u2014 and gives all the fucks at the same time. If you\u2019ve never wrestled a laser snake in a Lambo going two hundred off a cliff into an iridescent volcano, Nuevo Rico will make you feel like you have.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Special Jury Recognition for Innovation: KKUM<br \/>\nDirector: Kang Min Kim<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAn awe inspiring masterclass in creativity, resourcefulness, and innovative lighting and stop-motion techniques. This film manages to elevate simplistic materials to create mesmerizing sequences, while also taking you on a poetic, dreamy, and emotional journey that serves as a beautiful tribute to a mother\u2019s love.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Special Jury Recognition for Storytelling: Your Own Bullshit<br \/>\nDirector: Daria Kopiec<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe the jury have selected Your Own Bullshit for a Jury Recognition for Storytelling for its masterful and experimental take on a vastly relatable human story. Its stylistic choices, humor, sound design, character development, and pace bring excitement to a topic under which it is not easy to push boundaries. Yet, it does just that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>MUSIC VIDEOS<\/p>\n<p>Winner: Madame Gandhi \u2013 \u2018Waiting for Me\u2019<br \/>\nDirector: Misha Ghose<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOf all the wonderful works nominated, Madame Gandhi\u2019s \u2018Waiting for Me\u2019, directed by Misha Ghose, soared to the top for its compelling visuals, rich color palettes, and vital message of empowerment and self-expression. The video supported and enhanced both the song and the artist. This video and this artist deserve to be shared, seen, and heard by everyone. Everywhere.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Special Jury Recognition for How the Hell Did They Do That?!: Waze &#038; Odyssey, George Michael, Mary J. Blige &#038; Tommy Theo \u2013 \u2018Always\u2019<br \/>\nDirector: Nelson de Castro<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Jury would also like to award the music video for \u2018Always\u2019 by Waze &#038; Odyssey with a Special Jury \u2018How the Hell Did They Do That?!\u2019 recognition.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Special Jury Recognition for Pure Joy: Kuricorder Quartet \u2013 \u2018Southpaw\u2019<br \/>\nDirector: Sawako Kabuki<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Jury would further like to  for pure joy, the music video, \u2018Southpaw\u2019 by Kuricorder Quartet, directed by Sawako Kabuki.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>TEXAS SHORTS<\/p>\n<p>Winner: Summer Animals<br \/>\nDirector: Haley Elizabeth Anderson<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSummer Animals, Haley Elizabeth Anderson\u2019s short film entry for SXSW 2021, captivated us with its naturalistic style and layered approach to storytelling. Ostensibly a story about three siblings and their quest to find a moment of relief \u2014 or a pool to cannonball into \u2014 during a particularly grueling summer, the film evolves into something else entirely, and is anchored by the cast\u2019s stellar performances and Anderson\u2019s clear-eyed direction.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Special Jury Recognition for Vision: O Black Hole!<br \/>\nDirector: Renee Zhan<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis imaginative journey explores a literal impression of its title and a figurative one. It\u2019s otherworldly imagery, music and sound design combined for an emotional experience that surprised us at every turn.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>TEXAS HIGH SCHOOL SHORTS<\/p>\n<p>Winner: A Really Dark Comedy<br \/>\nDirector: Manasi Ughadmathe<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA Really Dark Comedy is a well-crafted comedy short that weaves together great comedic timing, excellent chemistry between its two leads, and some surprising twists. We found it to be a breath of fresh air in a pandemic year where everyone could use a (really dark) laugh.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Special Jury Recognition for Directing: Beyond the Model<br \/>\nDirector: Jessica Lin<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe power of this documentary comes from the artistry and sensitivity of its director, Jessica Lin. Parts observational and parts reflexive, Beyond the Model\u2019s clear voice stems from a desire to allow its subjects to breathe and share, making for an organic, poignant, and insightful short.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>EPISODIC PILOT COMPETITION<\/p>\n<p>Winner: 4 Feet High<br \/>\nDirectors: Maria Belen Poncio, Rosario Perazolo Masjoan<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor its beautifully cinematic and heartfelt coming-of-age story, with a confident performance from a standout lead actress, the jury is awarding this year\u2019s top prize to 4 Feet High. The episode is thrillingly unique from its opening minutes, with a strong point of view and an engaging central character whose journey feels keenly specific but also evokes universal high school experiences \u2014 and while the story takes its time, there is never a wasted frame. We commend the cast and creative team for telling this a moving story in such an assured way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Special Jury Recognition for Best Duo: Pretend Partners<br \/>\nDirector: Ron Najor<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor their witty script and genuine onscreen chemistry, the Special Jury Recognition for Best Duo goes to Kristin Erickson and Ron Najor for Pretend Partners. As showrunners, screenwriters, producers, and stars of the project (in addition to Najor directing), Erickson and Najor created an inventive take on the romantic comedy that was sweet and hilarious in equal measure, and then carried that story themselves as its central characters.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>SXSW Film Design Awards Presented by Adobe<\/p>\n<p>POSTER DESIGN COMPETITION<\/p>\n<p>Winner: Bob Moses Featuring ZHU \u2013 \u2018Desire\u2019<br \/>\nDesigners: Owen Brown, Diego Rodriguez (Paramoidme)<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA visually gripping design, this poster draws you into a surreal moment frozen in time where something you want so badly seems just out of reach. We were struck by the electric color palette, bold typography and dreamy illustration style that evokes flight, time travel and science fiction. Everything in this poster just feels intriguing and we are so excited to award the Excellence in Poster Design Winner to \u201cDesire\u201d!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Special Jury Recognition: The Box<br \/>\nDesigners: James Burns and Shal Ngo, Aleksander Walijewski<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA mix of bold graphics, creative typography, and emotive imagery, this poster grabs attention and pulls you into the narrative of prisoners in criminal reform systems and isolation. Spending a moment with the imagery feels like a window into the film and the minds of those enduring their own boxes, both tangible and the ones built in our minds. Overall, this poster was interesting, thought provoking, and wove together narrative and design in striking ways. Brava! We\u2019re thrilled to give a Special Jury Recognition to \u201cThe Box\u201d!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>TITLE DESIGN COMPETITION<\/p>\n<p>Winner: The Queen\u2019s Gambit Title Sequence<br \/>\nDesigner: Saskia Marka<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUsing simple geometric forms and a restrained palette, these titles spring to life through elegant motion design that captures the spirit of the protagonist\u2019s brilliant mental calculations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Special Jury Recognition: Birds Of Prey and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn Title Sequence<br \/>\nDesigner: Michael Riley<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis sequence embodies everything a great title should: The tone is a perfect match for the movie, the style is unique and ownable, and the visual narrative keeps the audience engaged and delighted throughout.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>VIRTUAL CINEMA COMPETITION<\/p>\n<p>Winner: Samsara<br \/>\nDirector: Huang Hsin-Chien<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSamsara provokes existential questions about the future of humanity and consciousness. From the evolution of users\u2019 hands to the rhythmic juxtaposition of vignettes, every detail is weighted in metaphor. The result is a work that compresses a universe into a few minutes; audiences are left to reflect on humanity as a collective macro-organism\u2014as experienced through the machine.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Special Jury Recognition for Immersive Journalism: Reeducated<br \/>\nDirector: Sam Wolson<\/p>\n<p>\u201cReeducated offers a glimpse into a horrifying world obscured from public view. Through illustration and testimony from three people who lived through the internment camps in Xinjiang, we learn about the brutal practices used against the Uyghur ethnic minority. It\u2019s a striking piece of 360 cinema that makes a clear argument for the unique affordances of immersive formats for telling stories, establishing a powerful logic and vocabulary through the use of composition, scale, pace, and perspective.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>SXSW Special Awards<\/p>\n<p>Brightcove Illumination Award<\/p>\n<p>The Brightcove Illumination Award honors a filmmaker on the rise, celebrating the innovation and creativity of new artists within the SXSW Film Festival official selections.<\/p>\n<p>Brightcove Illumination Award<\/p>\n<p>Presented to: The Fallout<br \/>\nDirector: Megan Park<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor her empathetic and honest exploration of life after tragedy, inspired craft, and stellar guidance of a talented young cast, we award the Brightcove Illumination Award to Megan Park for her The Fallout.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Adam Yauch H\u00f6rnblow\u00e9r Award<\/p>\n<p>In honor of a filmmaker whose work strives to be wholly its own, without regard for norms or desire to conform. The Adam Yauch H\u00f6rnblow\u00e9r Award is presented to a filmmaker from our Visions screening category.<\/p>\n<p>Presented to: Delia Derbyshire \u2013 the Myths and the Legendary Tapes<br \/>\nDirector: Caroline Catz<\/p>\n<p>Adobe Editing Award<\/p>\n<p>Adobe is committed to celebrating creativity for all and empowering everyone to bring their stories to life.

We are proud to celebrate the art and craft of editing as we grant the Adobe Editing Award at the SXSW Film Awards. We are also pleased to spotlight this year\u2019s incredible title and poster designers through the Film Design Awards presented by Adobe.<\/p>\n<p>Presented to: R#J<br \/>\nEditor: Carey Williams<\/p>\n<p>Final Draft Screenwriters Award<\/p>\n<p>Final Draft, the industry standard in screenwriting software, is proud to support SXSW and provide the second SXSW Final Draft Screenwriters Award. We pride ourselves in shining a spotlight on new voices in the writing and filmmaking community, and coming together with like-minded organizations, such as SXSW, that share the same core values. A huge congratulations to this year\u2019s recipient from all of us at Final Draft!<\/p>\n<p>Presented to: Paul Dood\u2019s Deadly Lunch Break<br \/>\nScreenwriter: Nick Gillespie<\/p>\n<p>Louis Black \u201cLone Star\u201d Award<\/p>\n<p>To honor SXSW co-founder\/director Louis Black, a jury prize was created in 2011 called the Louis Black \u201cLone Star\u201d Award, presented to a feature film world premiering at SXSW that was shot primarily in Texas or directed by a current resident of Texas. (Opt-in Award)<\/p>\n<p>Winner: Without Getting Killed or Caught<br \/>\nDirectors: Tamara Saviano, Paul Whitfield<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis year\u2019s Lone Star Award goes to Tamara Saviano and Paul Whitfield\u2019s remarkable Without Getting Killed or Caught, an examination of not just the life of legendary Texas singer-songwriter Guy Clark but the complicated, fascinating relationship between himself, his wife Susanna and his best friend Townes Van Zandt, all of whom made extraordinary work together and apart. The storytelling was graceful, densely layered and immersive.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>ZEISS Cinematography Award<\/p>\n<p>ZEISS Cine Lenses is honored to be returning this year to support the SXSW film community in the Cinematography category.  We believe that by supporting the art within the frame, ZEISS helps filmmakers realize their creative vision. <\/p>\n<p>Winner: Gaia<br \/>\nDirector: Jaco Bouwer<\/p>\n<p>Mailchimp Support the Shorts Award<\/p>\n<p>Mailchimp is committed to uplifting and supporting creators. We\u2019re so proud to support SXSW by helping short films win big. We congratulate the honorees of the Support the Shorts Award and Special Jury Recognition as well as the entire SXSW-invited filmmaking community.<\/p>\n<p>Presented to: Chuj Boys of Summer<br \/>\nDirector:  Max Walker-Silverman<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith its gentle, observant eye, Chuj Boys of Summer offers a vision of unexpected compassion and tender masculinity. Director Max Walker-Silverman and writer Marcos Ordo\u00f1ez Ixwalanhkej Mendoza know too much about the world to provide convenient answers to the film\u2019s complicated questions, so they instead focus on the little gestures that define their characters\u2019 lives. Against the grandeur of the San Juan Mountains, these small moments become unspeakably powerful.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mailchimp Support the Shorts Special Jury Recognition<\/p>\n<p>Presented to: Like the Ones I Used to Know<br \/>\nDirector: Annie St-Pierre<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWeaving a Christmas tale filled with familiar indignities, Annie St-Pierre and her talented ensemble deftly transform heartbreak into levity while always staying one step ahead of the audience.
