- 2014 Winner Golden Gate Award - Special Jury Recognition
- Best Documentary Feature
The jury noted: "Turning the stuff of headlines into intimate personal history, Talal Derki's Return to Homs uses extraordinary access-footage from young rebels' private meetings and urban battles-as a window onto the Syrian conflict. The film's light-footed coverage captures the spirit of an uprising driven by mobile technology, while its emotional immediacy brings to life one rebel's slow progression from peaceful protester to violent revolutionary. This is the rare film valuable both as a revelatory news document and as a moving story out of time: a private narrative that maps the broader course of conflict and idealism in the region."
