Best Short Film winner: Roqaia

This film touched me the most. There is a vulnerability present in the girl that has absolutely no say among the adult men who's trying to figure out how to present the girl and her trauma in the most dramatic and entertaining way. I love the ending where she walks off, while the adults keep discussing. The overlook of the city and the vast and harsh nature surrounding it is so telling of the little speechless girl and her presence in a big and unpredictable world.
