The festival’s Jury statement declared, among others: “It is with great pleasure and enthusiasm that the jury of the 2023 Ekran Film Festival proposes an Honourable Mention be awarded to the exceptional Maria Dudaref for her outstanding performance in ‘Resurrection.’ Maria’s portrayal as the daughter to a grieving father was excellent, and her emotional depth and authenticity truly drove the heart of the film.”

Awarded recently in Italy and Poland, and earlier in Czechia, India, Macedonia, Portugal, and the US, the ”Resurrection” by Luiza Budejko sketches a portrait of a family dealing with the death of small Marcel. 10-year-old Magda, Marcel’s sister, feels a need to help their parents overcome the tragedy and to do something that will let them all return to their life as it was before.
