End of BARDO First Prize

"The sense of comfort we find in a circular environment, where everything feels predictable and we always know what comes next. That’s what home is all about, a safe place. This is a thought-provoking piece and that’s what we need right now. Artists as amplifiers. Thank you for such top-notch work."

"This is a very well-crafted documentary that has the ability to really create audiences and engagement because of its visual storytelling.

"This film immediately pulled me in and continued to surprise me as the story and concept unfolded. The cinematography was brilliant and played an important role in shaping the world of the piece. The performances were top tier, and I especially appreciated the use of spoken storytelling alongside the movement. Together, these elements created a gorgeous and compelling world that was both engaging and memorable." Elisa De La Rosa, NBFF 2026 Invited Juror
