The audience selected the winner from these four nominees.

-       An Invincible Summer : director Arnaud Dufeys (Belgium)

It was an exciting competition, but in the end, jury chairman Alexander Dhoest was allowed to present the winning cheque of € 2000 to Arnaud Dufeys (Belgium)

With the presentation of the Theme Award, the Holebifilmfestival is clearly focusing even more on diversity this year.

The winner of the Theme Award was presented on 5 November by Inram Nawaz Mister Gay Belgium, to the director Junior as best short film with the theme "Well-being".

The beautiful thing in this film is the expectation pattern of the other: an image of the person 'who is not there'.

The best expressed as loneliness.

Holebikort is a contest organized by the LBGTQ+ film festival Holebifilmfestival
