BIFF JURY:
"A bold narrative with impressively strong formal execution – excellent cinematography, sound design, editing and memorable performances from the two leads that stay with you long after. VICTIM tackles the side of a very contemporary conversation that is less often addressed, the potentially dangerous impact of the far alt-right movement, on younger and more vulnerable followers, and their families. Kat Stewart is magnificent as the mother of a son in this emotionally affecting and frighteningly authentic view of young male isolation. Shows how powerful the short film can be."
