At festivals we listen, read, and participate in talks. This assists us in determining which movies have a strong theme, spark discussion, and open up interesting topics.
As a result, the resonance of the film is more important than the prize awarded to the film by the jury. The top prize will be forgotten unless it is given to a film with the potential to appeal to both audiences and critics. On the contrary, a neglected film may resonate more strongly in the future than the winner of a prestigious award.
