Funky Freaky Freaks
Jury Comment The jury is proud to present the Special Jury Award to Funky Freaky Freaks, directed by Han Chang-lok. This film provokes and challenges us to understand a generation struggling to make sense of the absurdity and meaninglessness of their modern world. It does so by creating cinematic language that reflects this chaos and madness without losing touch with what it means to be human within it. The film announces a powerful new voice in cinema. We eagerly await Han Chang-lok’s next work.
