“WARS DISTURB THE VERY FABRIC OF OUR EXISTENCE. THEY ALTER THE RHYTHM OF TIME AND THEY BURDEN SPACE WITH FEAR AND SETTLE INTO MEMORY, LIKE DUST THAT CANNOT BE BRUSHED AWAY.
WITH REMARKABLE RESTRAINT, THE DIRECTOR GAVE THIS VISION A FORM, TRUSTING STILLNESS, LIGHT, AND TEXTURE TO BECOME THE INNER LANDSCAPE OF HER CHARACTER.”
– Jury statement for the Golden Bear for Best Short Film awarded to “Someday, a Child”
