Additional winners with other prizes included Indian director Midhun Murali, Australian filmmaker Jaydon Martin, and the NETPAC Award for the best Asian feature film, awarded by a jury from the Network for the Promotion of Asian Cinema, went to Ishan Shukla's Indian director dystopian animated feature Schirkoa: In Lies We Trust.
