Jury Statement : “From the Mountain We See the Mountain is an elegy for the Patagonian Andes and the Indigenous communities that dwell in relation to it. Through imagery that is both quiet and abundant, the film conjures the region’s grasses, forests, and drifting clouds, together with the human activities that move within this landscape. It brings together cinematic composition, the sensibilities of ethnographic documentary, and the narrative tension introduced by the unresolved mystery of a forest fire, ultimately forming a captivating visual poem.”（TANG Hongfeng）
