Honorable Mention in the category « Documentary »

A solitary figure stands in an open field, dressed in ceremonial weight — feathers, bells, and circular forms that echo ancient symbols of protection. Neither fully human nor fully mythical, the figure evokes the liminal beings once believed to guard the boundary between sleep and wakefulness. In JINN, this image references purification rituals and folk practices used to ward off unseen forces, echoing how cultures historically gave form to fear when language failed. The figure does not threaten; it witnesses, holding space between the visible world and what presses in from the dark.
