THE MAIN AWARD

On the Way to the Sea
+info

 

Tao Gu
Canada, Quebec, China
2010 | Digital | 0:20:00

In a surreal hybrid of documentary footage, experimental abstraction and fictional elements, “On the Way to the Sea” studies the human fragility and spiritual homelessness generated by such disasters.


 




THE SIGNS AWARD (Prix de Signes)
The Signs Award honours films, which treat an important subject in an original and convincing way.



Mwansa the Great
+info

 

Rungano Nyoni
Zambia, Great Britain
2011 | Digital | 0:23:00

A film about mourning. Small Mwansa lives with his sister and his mother in Zambia. His father died recently and to process this stroke of fate, the two children fall into their fantasy worlds. The dream worlds of the siblings become reality, the little boy who in his cape transforms to become grown warrior, a toy car is his SUV, which all the children climb in to search for magic mud. In this game of realities the adverse circumstances mix with the fantasies of children. Desires are visualized here unsentimentally and grief is acted out in escapism in a very special way.



MENTION in the category of the SIGNS AWARD

A Kids Game
+info

 

Jacques Toulemonde
Colombia, France
2010 | Digital | 0:18:00

Pablo is a middle class kid who gets mugged by a boy almost his own age but hailing from a poorer neighbourhood. In a short time, they develop an ambivalent and complex relationship..


 

 

THE NIGHT AWARD (Prix de Nuit)
The Night Award honours films, which are able to balance ambiguity and complexity characterised by enigmatic mysteriousness and subtleness, which keeps mind and consideration moving.


Rauschgift
+info

 

Peter Baranowski
Allemagne
2011 | Digital | 0:23:00

Told in a reduced narrative style, this trip starts in rainy Germany and eventually takes us to the dodgy roads in the Moroccan Rif-Mountains. Following a path usually used for drug-traffick¬ing, a man tries to reach out for his fading love.


 

THE DISTRIBUTION AWARD
Offered by "Some Like It Short" / Valencia, Spain

Flimmer
+info

 

Director: Line Klungseth Johansen
Norway
2011 | Digital | 0:05:00

All noise contains coloured particles of different substance and meaning. Fragile and sensitive, the fragments glide into abstract lines, colours and composition, creating Flimmer. i
