Tiger Competition winners on demand

Pebbles by Vinothraj P.S, India, Tiger Competition winner IFFR 2021

“A lesson in pure cinema, captivating us with its beauty and humour, in spite of its grim subject”

A 13 km trek through the suffocating heat of the day brings the violent drunk Ganapathy and his son’s relationship to a head. They wander across a desolate landscape that symbolises their poverty and attendant emotional deprivation. Following its prize, Pebbles was chosen to represent India at the Oscars in 2022. 

Excess Will Save Us by Morgane Dziurla-Petit, Sweden, Tiger Special Jury Award winner IFFR 2022

A young filmmaker returns to her home village in the north of France, in the aftermath of a terrorist incident that turns out to be a slightly absurd misunderstanding. She becomes caught up again in close, constricting family ties at the tumbledown family farm.

Le spectre de Boko Haram by Cyrielle Raingou, Cameroon, France, Tiger Competition winner IFFR 2023

“A story that centres on its filmmakers’ patient and honest gaze on the hovering presence of violence, seen through the eyes of innocents” – the jury on Le spectre de Boko Haram

Since 2014, the terrorist organisation Boko Haram have led violent strikes against the villages and people of the Far North Region of Cameroon. In her deeply affecting debut feature, Cyrielle Raingou follows a group of children as they navigate life in a war zone.

Flathead by Jaydon Martin, Australia, Tiger Special Jury Award winner IFFR 2024

“This film addresses the people who contributed to society, keep society going and rolling, but not given enough attention and care” – the jury on Flathead

Through his spirited blend of documentary and fiction, Jaydon Martin’s compelling directorial debut offers a refreshing and rarely seen perspective on a working-class community in a small Australian city, as seen through the eyes of septuagenarian Cass, a stranger to neither joy nor hardship.

Natureza Humana by Mónica Lima, Portugal, Germany, Tiger Short Competition winner IFFR 2023

“Natureza Humana brilliantly depicts the uncertainty of the global lockdowns – and the inevitability of life moving on despite them” – the jury on Natureza Humana

After another failed attempt to get pregnant, a young couple begins to diverge in their desires. Pandemics, climate change and life’s uncertainties loom large. What does it mean to bring a child into an ever-more-complicated world? The cycles of nature and the seasons remain constant either way.

Tito by Kervens Jimenez and Taylor McIntosh, Haiti, Tiger Short Competition winner IFFR 2023 

“Tito’s rare images of capture shake one to the core” – the jury on Tito

Kervens ‘Tito’ Jimenez was imprisoned in his native Haiti at the age of 17 for a crime he did not commit and was never tried for. These images were captured by him via a camera he smuggled into the prison. The final edit of this film is in honour of the late Tito, who was murdered at the age of 25.

What the Soil Remembers by José Cardoso, South Africa, Ecuador, Tiger Short Competition winner IFFR 2023

“José Cardoso’s dynamic, beautifully glitching experimental documentary…leaves us raucous, rooting for and charmed by a grass-roots movement to reclaim what they can of a stolen history” – the jury on What the Soil Remembers

In 1960s South Africa, a close-knit community from Die Vlakte was forcibly and violently uprooted to make way for the Stellenbosch University as part of the Apartheid regime’s segregation measures. José Cardoso’s What the Soil Remembers recounts the traumatic effect displacement had on residents by bringing to the foreground a university that is still grappling with its racist legacy. To this day, the Die Vlakte community is fighting for justice and seeking reparations with little to no tangible solutions.

Crazy Lotus by Naween Noppakun, Thailand, Tiger Short Competition winner IFFR 2024

“It’s a weird, pink, flashy and delightful oddity that will leave no one indifferent” – the jury on Crazy Lotus

Strange things seem to be happening to the citizens chasing Good Seconds along the riverbank, as they are wandering around between infinite possibilities. The newly released Distant Heart Glasses they wear offer them an escape from reality which is as tempting as it is daunting. In a world where the lines between our urban spaces and our digital environment are continuously blurring, what is the best possible path forward, if there still is one?

Workers’ Wings by Ilir Hasanaj, Kosovo, Tiger Short Competition winner IFFR 2024

“A testimony to the labour of working class people, made with an empathetic and gentle tone” – the jury on Workers’ Wings

Milazim, Fatmir and Liridon are veteran manual labourers who experienced accidents in their workplaces in Kosovo, Europe’s youngest country. In this poetic experimental documentary tribute to a now almost extinct class of people, Ilir Hasanaj gives voice to gentle, sincere and dignified, but almost invisible individuals, who fell prey to harsh and primitive capitalistic machinery and policy in the Balkans.
