Nakuha sang pelikula ni Maris Racal nga “Sunshine” ang Crystal Bear award sa 75th Berlin International Film Festival ukon ang Berlinale 2025.
Ginahatag ang Crystal Bear sa Best Feature Film sa mga kategorya nga Generation Kplus kag Generation 14plus competitions.
Base sa statement sang jury, nangibabaw para sa ila ini nga sports drama bangud sa “sensitive view” sa “modern and socially critical topic” kag naghatag man sang strong message.
“It touched us not only through the acting performances, but also with its dark, yet hopeful and empowering atmosphere, which the filmmakers created with their way of storytelling,” kabahin sang statement sang jurors.
“It raises our awareness by confronting us with the reality of the social and political problems it addresses, which unfortunately still exist today. The film’s balance of different moral perspectives and impressive stylistic elements creates an immersive reality that feels authentic and deeply moving,” dugang sini.
“Nothing about it feels exaggerated or distant — it draws us in and enables us to experience the characters’ inner conflicts in an inspiring way that stays with us long after we’ve finished watching. Whether or not viewers can directly identify with the issues it tackles, we believe this film will leave a lasting impact.”
