AWARD FOR BEST SHORT FILM PENDULUM directed by Manuel Mathieu Canada | 2023 | 11 min | Without dialogue “For its authentic narrative, its color palette, sound design and music we give the prize to Pendulum. We particularly appreciated its poetic use of silence and the way it embraces nonlinear time. We were moved by the tangibility of the natural elements and felt as if we were pulled in the film itself. Pendulum stayed with us long after it was over.”
