And Coyotes, directed by Said Zagha, received the Short Film Award in the LFF short film competition.<\/p>\n More from The Hollywood Reporter<\/strong><\/p>\n Landmarks is Argentinian auteur Martel\u2019s first feature-length documentary. THR\u2018s review called<\/a> the chronicle of the systemic theft of native land \u201ca searing chronicle of a slow-motion crime.\u201d<\/p>\n The LFF jury lauded the film this way: \u201cWith deep empathy and extraordinary journalistic and cinematic rigor, the director Lucrecia Martel dives deep into the events surrounding the 2009 murder of the Chuschagasta leader Javier Chocobar, in Argentina\u2019s Tucum\u00e1n Province. In foregrounding present-day voices and neglected histories, Martel emerges with a portrait of \u2014 and for \u2014 an Indigenous community, and grants them a measure of the justice the courts have long denied them. Within a remarkably strong competition, our jury is proud to honor this singular achievement.\u201d<\/p>\n Kenyan filmmaker Nchogu\u2019s One Woman One Bra also explores the theme of land in a humorous account of one woman\u2019s fight to keep her ancestral land. \u201cWe were incredibly impressed by her ability to confidently move between so many tones, but always holding the audience with care,\u201d the jury highlighted in explaining why it deserved the first feature honor. \u201cHer film uses humor to shattering effect. Vincho also elicited fantastic performances from her entire cast, complemented by stunning cinematography throughout. The piece is at once funny, life-affirming, and deeply moving; its emotional journey stayed with us and will continue to do so.\u201d<\/p>\n The Travelers, meanwhile, focuses on the dangerous journey of a group of migrants from Cameroon to Europe. \u201cFacing the most inhumane of circumstances \u2014 a dangerous sea crossing from Morocco to Spain \u2014 the camaraderie of young Cameroonian men is rendered with kinetic intensity,\u201d the documentary competition jury highlighted. \u201cDavid Bingong, himself a migrant among them, offers a deeply personal and affecting lens on the humanitarian crisis of African refugees and asylum seekers adrift in both the Mediterranean Sea and the legal limbo of the EU\u2019s broken immigration system.\u201d<\/p>\n The doc jury also gave a special mention to Always, from director Deming Chen. His sophomore feature is \u201ca lyrical portrait of a gifted young poet growing up in rural China,\u201d LFF noted.<\/p>\n Coyotes won the LFF short award with its story about a Palestinian doctor. \u201cWhen Israeli soldiers interrupt her commute home, [she] is forced down a desolate road, and her future is thrown into disarray,\u201d according to a synopsis.<\/p>\n \u201cCoyotes quietly opens a door into a psychological state of fear faced by people caught in the midst of conflict; a fear that cuts through the everyday atrocities witnessed by those watching publicly from outside,\u201d said the LFF short film competition jury. \u201cWe chose the film for its subtle introduction of characters, the evident love for its craft, and its confident command of viewer expectations.\u201d<\/p>\n LFF 2025 wraps Sunday night with Jackman\u2019s second feature, 100 Nights of Hero<\/a>, a fairytale based on Isabel Greenberg\u2019s graphic novel. It features an all-star cast, including Emma Corrin, Nicholas Galitzine, Maika Monroe, Amir El-Masry, Richard E Grant, and Charli xcx.<\/p>\n Best of The Hollywood Reporter<\/strong><\/p>\n Sign up for THR’s Newsletter<\/a>.
