The APSA Youth, Animation, Documentary International Jury, determining the winners in those three categories, was led by Italy’s Udine Far East Film Festival co-founder Sabrina Baracetti, Japan and US-based producer Alex C Lo, Indonesian program director Gugi Gumilang and Australian actress Jillian Nguyen. “Through the expertly crafted storytelling of the winners, we are able to explore a more expansive view of the world around us, amplifying the compelling voices, experiences and lives of those otherwise not often seen: nurses, carers, lawyers, women’s health workers and children.”
