The awards for the 2021 professional day of the Cinemira International Children and Youth Film Festival were presented at the Akvarium Club.

On October 8th, 2021, the professional day of Cinemira took place in the Aquarium Club. A jury of film professionals gave feedback to the creators at the event, and the awards were decided by a jury of children and teens.

Junior Pitch Forum winners

At the Junior Pitch Forum, teenagers were able to present their film projects for the first time, developing their ideas into film designs through professional mentoring during the National Film Institute’s Fast Forward Program and Cinemira’s Summer Junior ScriptLab.

The main prize of the Junior Pitch Forum (Golden Squirrel Award, PlayVR ticket, Children’s Film Academy semester screenwriting workshop) was won by Máté Gárdos’s film project Horizontally Down, According to the jury’s reasoning, the project based on teenage depression and suicide presents a topic that needs to be addressed and is the result of a therapeutic creative process that can help many adolescents.

The youth jury awarded the forum’s special prize (equipment rental with an offer from MyActionCam) to the most confident pitch performer, Ábel Sipos, for his interactive series project Before Tomorrow.

Máté Dévai’s animated film titled Fox Human Machine also won a special prize (cartoon set with sponsored by Reflexshop).
