Jury Comments: The winner of this year's Founder's Award follows young women who must find their place and establish their identity in a world normally dominated by men and machismo.

Jury Comments: In her elegant portrayal of a profoundly conflicted wife and mother, this actress crafts a complex performance of a woman wrestling between love, family and obligation. She layers both strength and fragility without self-consciousness, with a fearlessness to exercise both subtlety and restraint.
