The grand closing and awards ceremony took place at the Moskino Сosmos cinema.
The jury, chaired by the screenwriter and producer Andrey Zolotarev, has selected the best works in five main competitive categories: «Best Film», «Jury Prize», «Best Narrative Short Film», «Best Documentary Feature Film» and «Best Documentary Short Film».
Andrey Zolotarev, Jury Chairman:
I really liked the program, it seems rare for a competition to feature such a large number of films that you actually want to award. Usually, the jury argues fiercely about the Grand Prix and less so about the other prizes, but this time we settled on the Grand Prix very quickly, while reaching a compromise on the Jury Prize proved to be the most difficult. There were discussions and attempts to persuade each other. I think that's great, the situation like this means the competition has a very strong lineup.
- Best Film (Grand Prix): «Fantasy Life», dir. Matthew Shear (USA)
- Jury Prize: «Floor Time», dir. Brachi Haischerik (Israel)
- Best Narrative Short Film: «The Soldier on Smithdown Road», dir. Barney Pell Scholes, Thomas Harnett O'Meara (UK)
- Best Documentary Feature Film: «Elie Wiesel: Soul on Fire», dir. Oren Rudavsky (USA)
- Best Documentary Short Film: «Tatooed4Life» dir. Kineret Hay-Giloor (Israel)
- Special Jury Mention: «Brother Versus Brother» dir. Ari Gold (USA)
