The winners of the festival were defined by the Dublin Film Critics’ Circle.
The Tribe (Plemya) is a drama film by director Myroslav Slaboshpytskiy about deaf boarding school in Ukraine. This unique film is entirely in sign language with no subtitles and music.
The Tribe tells about young shy boy Serhiy who arrives at a deaf boarding school. There he tries to find his place in the hierarchy of the school community, which resembles a Mafiosi group ruled by the King. Serhiy crosses a dangerous line when he falls for one of the girls in the school. There are almost no professional actors in the film, which was shot in a real deaf boarding school in the manner of “spying” over children’s life staying there.
