Grand Prize
BED BUG
Director : Tunahan Kurt
"Bed Bug had a great and uniquely new approach to blocking the scene." - Behnam Daneshvar, STFF Shorts 2019 Jury Member
1st Runner-Up
VOID
Director: Elif Eda Karagoz
"I was impressed by the Void’s logline and later-on, the progress of the story with its twist in positioning characters as a game-changer." Behnam Daneshvar, STFF Shorts 2019 Jury Member
2nd Runner-Up
AQUARIUM
Directors: ANIL KAYA/ÖZGÜR ÖNURME
"Spending the majority of my career in a news organization, the tension between the “politics” of the business and the grittiness of news is a constant balancing act…even though it shouldn’t be. And, to see the youngest journalism show the courage to hit “send” was inspiring." Alayne Fardella, STFF Shorts 2019 Jury Member
