The Chinese first-time filmmaker Zou Jing was awarded the Elfi Dassanowsky Prize as the best female director of the festival for her drama Lili Alone. The Social Responsibility Award, newly donated by the Vienna Chamber of Labour, was given to Invisible Hands by Lia Sudermann and Simon Nagy. In their essay, the filmmakers used amateur footage from the 1960s and current off-camera commentary to highlight the lack of appreciation for care work. Click here for the jury statements.
