“Congratulations to Kurdwin Ayub on receiving the Grand Jury Prize for her film ‘Moon’ at the Locarno Festival,” said Art and Culture State Secretary Andrea Mayer. “Ayub follows on seamlessly from her award-winning debut ‘Sonne’. Her female gaze and her central female characters touch and reflect the great diversity of local cinema. The congenial collaboration between Kurdwin Ayub and the performance artist Florentina Holzinger combines the talents of two great artists. It is inspiring to see how such creative synergies enrich national film. I am very pleased that a domestic film was once again able to prevail against strong international competition. This shows once again the success story inherent in Austrian film.”
