Don’t Cry Butterfly (Viet-Sing-Phil-Indo)   Dir. Duong Dieu Linh

Duong Dieu Linh’s Don’t Cry, Butterfly took the main Grand Prize, awarded by a jury of Kerem Ayan, Yasmine Benkiran and Ariane Labed. The jury selected the film “for its singularity and creativity; because it tests new ideas, mixing comedy, social drama and fantasy; for the way it depicts the complexity [of] ‘mother and daughter’.” 

Duong’s feature debut sees a woman turn to spirits in an attempt to win back her philandering husband. Barunson E&A handles international sales on the film, which is a collaboration between producers from Vietnam, Singapore, the Philippines and Indonesia. The film also won the award for Most Innovative Feature, assigned by a five-person jury of people under the age of 35.
