The Jorge Sanjinés Award for Best Dramaturgy
Auxiliare (Lucas Bacle, France, 2023)
Auxiliaire stands out with its wonderful and heartfelt story about the power of friendship told by director Lucas Bacle and co-writer and actor Laurent Target with great artistic flair. The intense drama explores the conflict between the inner desire to chase after your own big dream and being there for your friend when you are most needed. Fear and doubt take over the screen in masterfully crafted surrealist sequences while the strong leading performances commit entirely to a most human representation of fighting for a bond that can prevail over all the scary challenges that threaten it.
