- 2012 Winner Nordic Vision Award"The film we chose for best cinematography convinced us with its development of a strong visual style, a cinematographic style that is unique and provoking, and often surprising with its delicate way of finding images that stay with us. The film speaks to us through a unique cinematographic language. As such we want to give the prize for best cinematography to both the director and the cinematographer of Pojktanten (She Male Snails): Minka Jakerson och Ester Martin Bergsmark."

"We have to admit that we, the jury, had a hard time choosing the best film. We had very different responses and opinions, and we had to accept that in the end it is a very subjective matter whether you find a film good or not. This is why we asked the festival for permission to name a jury's honorable mention. And this is what we're doing, we're giving an honorable mention to a film that went beyond simple storytelling and reached a philosophical quality by touching a very sensible, even existential theme: the fragile construction of what you call your personality. The film showed the diversity and uncertainty of human nature that can easily be shaken, even devastated - that what you are depends on what others see in you, and that this might not be the same as what you see in yourself. The film approaches the delicate interaction between what you want to be and what you are expected be, and puts a spotlight on the hidden sides of one's self. The jury's honorable mention goes to the film Pojktanten (She Male Snails).
