Depicting the world, especially the one we live in, is no longer a question of general views. Just as the map can’t represent the world, and when it does, we know the tragic consequences of that attempt. Cinema must aspire to show what does not fit on the map. All that exceeds the frame. Sometimes, listening, just for a while, is enough to understand that the world is made up of infinite overlapping layers, hundreds of simultaneous details, hidden sensibilities and subtle emotions. For its elegance and delicacy, and the extreme care shown to invite us to observe and listen to a small portion of the world, this jury has decided to award with the Silver Bear Jury Prize the film Re tian wu hou by Wenqian Zhang.
