"We would like to thank the Thessaloniki Film Festival for selecting us as the jury for such a significant award. It is a great honor for us. Among many important and interesting films, we chose All Shall Be Well by Ray Yeung for its exceptional and skillful direction, which pays particular attention to detail, and for the warmth and generosity with which it presents human relationships - especially the bond between the two women. In the current context, our priority is to highlight how fragile and far from guaranteed fundamental human rights can be. This film is an indictment of patriarchy and deeply rooted homophobia, showing how often queer relationships are devalued as unequal or invalid. It reminds us that families formed through LGBTQI+ bonds are often stronger than legally recognized biological relationships. Ending on a hopeful note, we want to emphasize what the title itself says - that in the end, all shall be well."
