Vinnare av Stone City Award 2025 – Bästa svenska kortfilm

Duty Free av Hilke Rönnfeldt

Juryns motivering
The film explores the possibility of emotions, unconditional emotions, inhabiting uninhabitable non-places built by humans. When day shifts into night, one of these non-places, a floating container full of perfumes and luxury goods dreams and desires are made of, turns into a personal paradise where love comes just as another duty free good. For the way it builds its own cinematographic language through choreography and performance with its distinctive sonic landscape, and for how it expands the dynamics of a microcosmos to an universal scale.

Filmen vinner 50 000 kr från Svenska Filminstitutet, 20 000 kr från Scen och Film samt en prisstatyett skapad av Cecilia Tjärnberg.

Juryn bestod av: Christina Olofson, Grégory Coutaut, Tiziana Pelusi
