The International Film Festival and Forum on Human Rights in Geneva handed out several awards on Sunday to films that not only push cinematic boundaries but bring to light stories of youth struggles and injustice.

The Grand Prize winner in the fiction and human rights category was “Veins of the World” by Mongolian filmmaker D.Byambasuren. Through the story of a nomadic Mongolian boy and his family, the film brings to light themes of the forced displacement of nomads, water pollution, gold mining and child labour. In a press release, the jury praised the film for its “delicate layering of social and cinematic elements”. The film also won the Youth Jury award in the fiction category.
