The jury selected “Clenched Fist,” directed by Vivian Goffette, as the Narrative Feature Competition winner.
“In this unconventional coming-of-age drama, Oscar-nominated filmmaker Vivian Goffette (for his short film ‘Postcard,’ 1999) tells the story of Lucien, a shy 11-year-old living with his mother and older brother in the Belgian countryside.
