(Ex aequo winners): Ζara and the others by Nils Johan Lund and Bjørn Sortland (Norway) and ‘Yawati’  by Lucia Espinoza  (Ecuador) We don´t know that much about Zara and the others.

Certainly something quite spooky.YAWATI (turtle in Quichua) is a short film that tells the story of Waira, a little girl who finds a turtle on a beach full of garbage. Waira with the help of his grandfather clean the coast so that Yawati can return to the sea.
