Jury statement: A brave film about a difficult, personal but universal topic. My Uncle Tudor is very intense but, at the same time, the filmmaker gives us time and space to breathe and process the truth we see on screen. It is a graduation film but the film already displays maturity in the way Olga Lucovnicova handles it in such a delicate way.
