Until Tomorrow
The Živojin Pavlović Award for Best Director
Asgari uses familiar concepts (a single day narrative, the contemporary experience of Iranian women) to explore the nature of solidarity through the lens of anticipation, hesitation, and anxiety about the generation to come. In foregrounding and emphasising this uncertainty, Asgari crafts a tense and relevant exploration of agency and ideology.
The Rosaura Revueltas Award for Best Actress
Asgari’s performance is essential to the success of Until Tomorrow. From its opening moments, the film’s quiet intensity is embodied by Asgari, who makes the most of every minor movement or expression to emphasise the constant and ever building struggle within her. This performanceanchors and intensifies the film’s wider thematic concerns, and it is through her performance that the film’s message is reified.
