November directed by Rainer Sarnet wons the #RIGA_IFF_AWARD_2017.
In the words of the international jury, the film is "a cinematic gem which creates a visually exceptional and mesmerizingly mysterious tragicomic black-and-white universe, washing away the borders between life and death, real and unreal in order to tell a story about purified love and inescapable sacrifice. Through a humorous otherworldly approach to the past, the film shapes an imaginary history, reminding audience there is a transcendental side of everyday life.”
The winner of the audience documentary award was Lithuanian film "The Woman and the Glacier" directed by Audrius Stonis.
