Prize of the Ecumenical Jury, Miskolc 2016

“Under Sandet” is excellent storytelling about a rather unknown dramatic post-WWII-event. The casting is perfectly matching the drama strengthened by outstanding photography and sound. The film pictures the dehumanisation of war, yet develops into a story of reconciliation and restorative justice. As “Under Sandet” is evolving from hate through sensibility towards compassion, it is an inspiring story even for today.  Not only for individuals in a tensed global actuality, but also for societies, guiding out of ‘demonising the other’.
