Nukleus film

angleško: With a precise audiovisual language, El Minero is a work of great narrative rigor. Effective in its structure and with great testimonial value.

Blaž Kutin kratki film spretno izkorišča kot priložnost za raziskovalen odnos do filma, zato je Poslednji dan Rudolfa Nietscheja radikalna avdiovizualna avantura, bolj odsanjana kot posneta. Avtor pogumno izkorišča na videz preprosto resnico, da film ni samo to, kar pokaže in pove, ampak tudi kar zamolči in skrije. Tako gledalcu prepusti veliko svobode, da sam z aluzijo na velikega filozofa odkriva zgodbo o običajnem sleherniku.

Nagrada žirije MicroCosmo - žirija zapornikov iz Verone angleško: Faced with the truth, one cannot hide, in the historical evidence as in the individual experiences that determine it. Knowledge with awareness does not allow for loopholes, on pain of inner suffering; a need for pacification emerges even accepting the price of disadvantages in the immediate. It is a path that begins with recognition of the victims. They wait to be honored, recognized in their dignity. This film leads to linger on the unsolved matters carried inside for some time, both as individuals and as a community. We need to explore our own private wars in order to develop our conscience and put ourselves on the line to build peace: this is liberation. In Rudar, the father's sense of human and emotional responsibility is renewed and takes on new forms in the social commitment of a daughter. And right there, they recognize each other. The path of consciousness from interiority leads to constructive action, for a possible new beginning.

Posebna nagrada Casse Rurale Vallagarine za najboljši film o Alpah. angleško: From the bowels of the mountains emerge individual and collective stories that open up old wounds, in a land that has never dealt with its history. The mountain becomes a therapy for pain and a source of redemption.

italijansko: “Per l’articolata e ambiziosa configurazione strutturale, l’attualità dei temi affrontati (messi in scena con intensità), le scelte linguistiche e l’efficacia altamente drammatica di alcune sequenze”.

Eno življenje v tisoč življenjih, ena zgodba v tisoč zgodbah. Svež in izviren impresionistični kolaž in avtor, ki je naredil izstopajoč film tudi brez klasične naracije. Vesna za najbolj izvirni avtorski prispevek.

angleško: The jury consisting of Karin Schockweiler (Eurimages Luxembourg representative), Kim Yutani (Sundance IFF) and Meinolf Zurhorst (ARTE/ZDF) was "moved by this poetic film that evokes the basic conditions of mankind".
