The professional jury named Jesper W Nielsen’s ”poetic and sensitive film that emboldens” winner of the Junior Film Competition, while the children and youth jury gave it the ç ”because it is based on a real problem, and furthermore is a pretty emotional and instructive movie.”
Through a Glass, Darkly was produced by Turid Øversveen for Spillefilmkompaniet 4½.
For its 14th edition Schlingel had selected 118 films from 39 countries, reaching almost 10,000 admissions.
