An observational documentary with cinematic experience asking: What is important in life? The motivation for the film is director’s loss of her father. Every one of us will have to face mortality. It’s up to us what we’ll be like in those moments. This is a story of retired journalist, paliative care promotor Manca Košir who gets diagnosed with cancer and lets us into her intimate world, which is the door in exploring departure. She says her friendship with death began at the age of 19, when she was in the film The Birch Tree (1967), lying in a coffin most of the time. It is also a story of director's experience of the loss of her father. But most of all it is a story about departing, memories and love. The creative documentary about mortality explores in its core the acceptance of time and celebration of life. What will you do with the time you have left?

Comitee: Vojko Anzeljc, Matjaž Ivanišin, Haidy Kancler Explication
V tišini življenja je film, ki govori življenju, ki se mu ob bok postavlja težko ozdravljiva bolezen, smrt in minljivost. Komisija temo filma prepoznava kot univerzalno in relevantno.
Iz priloženih dokumentov je dojeti izjemno intimno avtorsko gledišče, hkrati pa se projekt teme loteva na nov, pozitiven in unikaten način.
Za slovenski prostor je film V tišini življenja še posebej zanimiv. Spremlja namreč poznano osebnost. A je tema filma in pristop k portretirani osebi usmerjen onkraj poznanosti in prepoznavnosti portretirane osebe, zato ga komisija prepoznava kot zanimivega za širšo mednarodno publiko. Film ne govori o glavni protagonistki, ampak predvsem o človeku s specifično življenjsko izkušnjo.
Comitee: Maja Weiss, Igor Palčič, Goran Vojnović, Simon Tanšek (alternate), Polona Petek (alternate) Explication
V tišini življenja je observacijski celovečerni dokumentarec o razumevanju polnosti življenja z imenitno glavno junakinjo Manco Košir, osebo z razgibano, polnokrvno preteklostjo in sedanjostjo, ki se spopada z rakom, s prostovoljko, ki pomaga v Hospicu pri umiranju ljudi in v Sloveniji medijsko odlično prepoznano osebo. Film vstopi v njeno sedanjost, spoznamo jo kot dejavno upokojenko, ki živi polno življenje, se ne obremenjuje z nostalgično preteklostjo, ni zaskrbljena zaradi prihodnosti, zaveda se minljivosti in ljubi življenje prav zato, ker enkrat mine. Tematika življenjskega kroga je temeljno univerzalna. Verodostojnost projektu zagotavlja lik Mance Košir, življenjsko izpolnjenega človeka, ki v istem žaklju nosi življenjsko radost in pomiritev s smrtjo. Okrog glavne junakinje, kakor veje iz debla, vznikajo vzporedne zgodbe in dogodki, se med seboj prepletajo in ustvarijo razmišljujoče vzdušje in občutek notranje pomiritve. Pričakovana privlačnost filma za slovenski in evropski oziroma mednarodni kulturni prostor je velika, zaradi zgodbe protagonistke, kredibilnosti režiserke in producenta, da s pomočjo prisotnih koproducentov naredijo zanimiv in presenetljiv kinematografski film.
