Tiger Competition<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

IFFR\u2019s trademark Tiger Competition<\/a> celebrates the innovative and adventurous spirit of up-and-coming filmmakers. From the 14 titles presented in the 2024 edition, the jury granted three prizes: the Tiger Award, worth \u20ac40,000, and two Special Jury Awards, worth \u20ac10,000 each.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rei <\/strong>(Japan) by Tanaka Toshihiko wins the Tiger Award 2024. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The jury stated: \u201cThe jury decided to give the Tiger Award to a burgeoning film director who chose to develop his debut film in a loose and unbounded environment. His strength relies on a collaborative environment centred on the actors, an attention to the power of recitation \u2013 and, perhaps most importantly, a taste for performative sequences that operate as discrete units within the overall structure, but which typically resist acting as the power of the different chosen locations slowly emerges. The film\u2019s ending suggests that people dwell in constant threat from the outside world. But they might yet live, together.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kiss Wagon <\/strong>(India) <\/strong>by Midhun Murali wins a Special Jury Award. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The jury stated: \u201cHypnotic \u2013 bewildering \u2013 heart-racing. A trip on a speed train where our solitudes are mouth to mouth reanimated. The first special jury award goes to a weirdly beautiful and beautifully weird film.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flathead <\/strong>(Australia) <\/strong>by Jaydon Martin wins a Special Jury Award. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The jury stated: \u201cThis film addresses the people who contributed to society, keep society going and rolling, but not given enough attention and care. The images are powerful and convincing. The cast, in particular the old man, is exceptionally impressive. The execution is calm but touching. The second jury award goes to a film that is a naturalistic and realistic film at its best.\u201d  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Tiger Competition Jury consisted of Marco M\u00fcller, Ena Sendijarevi\u0107, Nadia Turincev, Billy Woodberry, and Herman Yau.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
