“El arte de cine es una lengua universal que habla a los hilos que nos unan juntos,” Bad Bunny said, which translates to, “Cinema is a universal language that speaks to the common threads that bind us together.”
Glazer took the stage to accept the award and said, “All our choices were made to reflect and confront us in the present, not to say, ‘Look what they did then,’ rather, ‘Look, what we do now.’ Our film shows where dehumanization leads at its worst. It shaped all of our past and present.”

“Right now, we stand here as men who refute their Jewishness and the Holocaust being hijacked by an occupation which has led to conflicts for so many innocent people,” he continued. “Whether the victims of Oct. 7 in Israel or the ongoing attack on Gaza, all the victims of this dehumanization -- how do we resist?”
Other nominees in the category included “Io Capitano” (Italy), “Perfect Days” (Japan), “Society of the Snow” (Spain) and “The Teachers’ Lounge” (Germany).
