"Mr. Mare / Lidérc úr" by Luca Tóth (Hungary/France)
The jury said:
"We present The Børge Ring Award to a film that plays masterfully with both our expectations and emotions. With a light hand and a firm grasp of the language of animation, we are guided through a wide range of emotions as we witness an explorer's nuanced investigation into someone else's life. Balancing humor with heartbreak, the story reveals itself through both sensitive characterization in its animation and an evocative production design."
