"The Narrative Features Jury awards TEMBLORES the grand prize for its authentic and realistic depiction of a contemporary conservative society. TEMBLORES is an anthropological yet personal story brimming with specificity in its depiction of the central loving relationship while encompassing other viewpoints. Its gothic austere filmmaking is contrasted with a warm and liberated characterization of the queer community."
"Complimented by a visually and sonically rich world, the overwhelmingly powerful human story within TREMORS lies in its nuanced, moving performances by an incredibly talented ensemble."
