- 2018 Winner Special Mention of the Testimony on Politics Jury"The jury would like to award the special mention to the film, Still Recording. The image provides protection against lies and the course of time. The film is exceptional not only in depicting a war wrecking the heart of the civilised world, but also in trying to capture what can be seen as a foolish effort to imbue the war reality with the touch of everyday life: a person running through the ruins, children painting the fence in different colours, a recording studio in a city under siege, sunrise before bomb runs. A rough and, at the same time, poetic film, paid for by the lives of its makers."

- 2019 Winner RIGHTS NOW! (documentaries about the currently relevant examples of the struggle for human rights)
- Special Mention
''For the human stories hidden behind military news reports. For the courage of the people who did not flee from armed conflict, but picked up a camera instead of weapons and showed the real events happening in Syria to the entire world. Despite all the horrors of the war, they still have strength, not just to live and maintain their dignity, but also to give others the feeling of peacetime life. It's a reminder to every one of us: nobody can be sure that they are safe from war - we have to take the responsibility for preserving peace.''
