We’re incredibly honored to share that our film H3O2 has been awarded the Special Jury Prize at the 2025 MetaCannes Film Festival, as part of the Next Wave of Cinema Awards. 🏆🌊
“We’re delighted to award the Special Jury Award to “H3O2,” directed by Patrik Thornell and Christian Thornell. This visual poem follows a water droplet’s journey from the clouds to the sea, leaving traces of its encounters and discovering its place in the tapestry of life. This film impressed our jury with its creativity and thought-provoking narrative.”
H3O2 is a poetic journey of water and a quiet contemplation of its nature as it moves through our world. Through the eyes of a sentient droplet, the film explores how water connects, remembers, and transforms, carrying with it traces of the lives and landscapes it touches.
To be awarded this prize is deeply humbling, especially considering the incredible lineup of films at this year’s festival. Metacannes continues to be a groundbreaking space for cinematic innovation, and we’re grateful to be part of this creative wave.
A heartfelt thank you to the jury, the Squad and the MetaCannes team, and all the visionary filmmakers who inspire us.
With gratitude,
Patrik & Christian Thornell
