Winner<\/strong><\/p>\n Luce et le rocher<\/strong> This film provides a very positive outlook on how to overcome our fears: by working together with someone who may be different from us, by welcoming diversity, by addressing and acknowledging our mistakes, and most importantly by coming together as both a team and a community.

This movie reminds us that we need more happiness!<\/em><\/p>\n Special Mention<\/strong><\/p>\n Memoir of a Veering Storm<\/strong> This film works on many levels. Even without words.
