“The film stands out for its sensitive and realistic portrayal of a serious subject that cannot — and should not — be overlooked. Its honest and nuanced approach brings attention to an issue that, unfortunately, remains painfully relevant. A Special Mention goes to “The Pupil.”

Thank you .film jury for the special mention of THE PUPIL last week!

We are excited to announce THE PUPIL by Karin Junger won the Special Jury Award at !

“For its ability to depict with great clarity the attributes of manipulation, supported by a consistent mise-en-scène and the intense effort of the two protagonists — among them Bart de Wilde, a remarkable teenage actor who is making his debut. The dangerous impulses at the core of the story are addressed without resorting to simple demonization, while supporting a profound consideration of the psychological trauma it generates,” reads the Jury rapport.

Thanks to the Festival del Cinema Europeo for selecting the film, and the jury for recognizing our efforts for a nuanced depiction of this sensitive topic.
