1. | HELPING
HAND Jang Eun Youn (South Korea) This is a difficult film to both watch and perhaps understand. Some viewers have objected to the visualisation of sexual abuse of a boy with learning difficulties. However, good drama has always explored the less attractive sides of life and this is a powerful example from another culture. The acting of the boy deservedly won the best acting award.

2. | DANCER James Webber (London) Two people are at the centre of a tragic accident. A family and friends grieve. The perpetrator feels guilty. What will happen if both sides ever meet? The structure and subtle acting in this poignant drama are near perfect.
