Jury statement: "This year's winning film is clear in its message from the very beginning. The filmmaker deserves recognition for their exceptional achievement in giving a recognizable face to those who are often overlooked in society. Through humor and Tara's journey, we get a strong portrait of poverty in Norway and the desperation, pain, and hopelessness she experiences. A portrayal of a class-divided Norway - how one of the world's wealthiest countries deals with poverty. Congratulations to this year's best short film winner, GRILL by Jade Hærem Aksnes."
