The feature jury has decided to award a Special Mention to the film Llavors, van voler soterrar-nos però no sabien que erem llavors, by Alba Pascual Benlloch, for his accurate portrayal of the resistance of a neighbourhood, with the will of the people, to the speculation and corruption that has destroyed so many urban environments.
Transhumant Award for the best documentary short film
In the film Why with the direction of Natxo Leuza, for his photography and editing, to manage to tell a bloody story with intelligence and emotion, without falling into morbidness or spectacle. To allow viewers to enter an intimate context, but with respect for the victims of the conflict.
Transhumant Award for the best short fiction film
To the film, Blava Terra with the direction of Marine Auclair for its ability to create its own atmosphere that captures the viewer from the first moment and allows him to empathize with the protagonist. For the feeling of anguish that the story gives off when dealing with situations of abuse in all areas. To address despair, but also rebellion and hope, and to do so through a very neat short.
Concordia Campdevànol Hospital Transhumant Award
To the film, Pequeño Sáhara is a clear illustration of the reality experienced by millions of children throughout the territory. The display of children's resilience and enthusiasm; being able to experience from the inside being part of the creation of the film. It also shows us the importance of making these realities visible, and even more importantly, the vision that children have of their situation and the conflict they live.

AUDIOVISUAL CAREER AWARD. Association of Basque filmmakers Hemen
(H)emen is an association aimed at women in the audiovisual sector and the performing arts of the Basque Country. It was created in 2016 with the aim of boosting the visibility of professional women in these two sectors, as well as fostering relationships and work opportunities and reducing gender inequality. His action plan is called ALICE in honor of Alice Guy-Blaché, the first fiction director and founder of narrative cinema. He was born in 1873 in France and although he wrote and directed more than a thousand films, the world of cinema has completely ignored him until very recently. That is why the project bears his name, as a light and a standard. The actions that make up the action plan can be found in each of the five letters that make up its name: Aukera (Opportunity), Lokailuak (Connections, network), Ikuslighátika (Visibility), Coworking and Ekursuna (Future) It is the first since the festival awards the Award for audiovisual and communication career to a collective and not to a person.
