Our take

One film, one incredible shot. Marcell Iványi won the Palme d’Or for this short that shows the emotional and conceptual power of a moving camera. It opens with a mystery, and as the camera turns, tension builds, expanding to an epic scope and culminating in a finale that takes your breath away.
