The Lyudmila Feyginova Award for Best Editing

Forgotten in Time (Paul Birkett, Andrea Jovanovska, UK, 2023)

Editing is the main character in Forgotten in Time, meticulously designed to let us experience the disorientating nature of dementia and confusion it brings. The skillful employment of a variety of sound and visual techniques such as exposure bracketing and analogue film flashbacks provide a unique access to this lonesome world where time and space exist by their own set of chaotic rules. We award Forgotten in Time for the unforgettable experience it gives us and admire the inspirational work of directors Paul Birkett and Andrea Jovanovska and their crew that they achieve with minimal resources.
