Winner of Stone City Award 2025 - Best International Short Film

Al Basateen by Antonie Chapon

Jury statement
Just like city planning requires razor-sharp precision, this film takes a unique and highly technical visual language and shapes an important story into an emotional experience of resistance. This visually stunning work reminds us that you cannot erase the culture or landscape of the people.

The winning film receives the Stone City Award: 10 000 SEK sponsored by Film Västernorrland.
