Astar Best Director
Mascha Schilinski，Sound of Falling
Award Speech
“In Sound of Falling, the director crafts a flowing structure of time and memory through poetic imagery and precise mise-en-scène. Light, sound, and silence become integral to the narrative, as carefully composed frames guide the audience into the inner landscapes of her characters. The film achieves a rare balance of rhythm, performance, and space, offering a profound meditation on the human condition. The Astar Award Best Director is hereby presented to this auteur who pursues truth through images and lets form serve emotion.”
Prof. Karl Bardosh：
“Sound of Falling demonstrates the true power of cinema direction—where form becomes the vessel of emotion and imagery echoes thought. With exceptional judgment and creativity, the director distills unseen feelings and unspoken experiences into a visual language of universal resonance. We look forward to seeing her expand the horizons of auteur cinema, connecting personal memory with collective human experience on the global stage.”
