Their mission
Watch.
Debate.
Choose.
Throughout the festival, the jury watched the films in competition, confronted their viewpoints and awarded the 2026 prizes. The point was not to seek consensus at all costs, but to make different sensibilities meet — and to defend the films that stayed with them.
