Ruth Mader was awarded the Junior Jury Prize.

Press quotes after the world premiere:

Serviam is generally gripping, intelligent and beautifully composed.

– The Film Verdict

A claustrophobic huis clos combining the thriller genre with mysticism, and horror with beauty.

– Cineuropa

A plea for spirituality in a profane world.

– Die Presse

The film is a very clear, austere and geometrically arranged critical examination of Catholicism and its shapes.

– Wiener Zeitung

A highly atmospheric and superbly crafted work.

– The Film Verdict

Maria Dragus has a magnetic presence on screen.
