Among the reasons for the choice were "investigating without dogma, and using the language of the present time, the still unresolved questions of roots, religion, and identity of the new generations resulting from migration flows, through the gaze of three young women in search of their place in the world." The Alpe Adria Cinema Prize, awarded by the jury for the best documentary, goes to "Scenes with my father" by Biserka Šuran (Netherlands, 2022), "a pearl of cinema describing a migrant family in today's Europe." Eva Vidan's short film "Plima" (Croatia, U.S., 2022) was awarded the TSFF Shorts Prize for the "delicate, childlike-eyed account of a pre-modern, female society where women preside over the household." Other award-winning films include Otilia Babara's "Love is not an orange" (Belgium, Netherlands, Moldova, France, 2022), awarded the CEI (Central European Initiative) Prize for the best interpretation of contemporary reality and dialogue between cultures. The Corso Salani 2023 Award went to Sophie Chiarello's "Il Cerchio" (Italy, 2022). And, again, the SNCCI Award for Best Critics' Film 2022 went to Jafar Panahi's "The Bears Don't Exist" (Iran, 2022), while Best Italian Critics' Film 2022 goes to Laura Samani's "Piccolo corpo" (Italy, France, Slovenia, 2022).
Finally, the 2023 Eastern Star Award, which recognizes a personality in the film world whose work has contributed, like the Trieste Film Festival, to bridging Eastern and Western Europe, goes to Krzysztof Zanussi.
