Best video in Music Section, juror Roli Mosiman
CC Sound Factory - "So Shiok"
Judgement:
"CC Sound Factory transcends stylistic barriers by successfully combining urban dance textures with the compositional elements of rock music. "So Shiok" is a trip in to the contemporary challenges of modern urban life. It speaks the universal language of today in composition, sound and arrangement choices, delivered with the truthful emotional attitude of our digital "lifescape" "


Best video in Movie Section, juror Marco Mancuso
Simon Dekker - "The Execution of Margot Rumebe"
Judgement:
"The movie is characterized by its beautiful animation, editing and puppets/actors' post production, switching with brilliant skill from analog components to digital elements and special effects, even though sometimes characters and shooting transitions can seem a bit too sharp.
At the same time the great technical skills are not to the detriment of the scenography architecture, of the script dynamism, of the dramatic atmospheres and of the oneiric synergy between images and sound/music, which complete the short."


Best video in Video Art Section, juror Lucilla Brancato
Ex-aequo Helga Maestrini - "Liquida.mente" and Schejla Massellucci - "Boum"
Judgement:
I think it is fair to confer an ex-aequo to these two works, because both of them prove to have relevant differences compared to the other videos. In fact, it is possible to find a precise line, due to an accurate storyboard work, and a great balance between the idea, the images and the significance. Visible also the ironical sign of works.
Production and post-production are in both cases accurate.


Best video in Animation Section, juror Silvano Mezzatesta
Serdar Camlica - "Awaken, The Mind Travel"
Judgement:
Both sides, the artistic and the experimental one, are accurate. It is evident the will of arousing emotions through the oneiric visions, created by a too-often-trivializing technique, 3D.
The creative aspect is much more intense compared to the other competitor works.
Good choice of soundtrack and good the interaction with images.
Just the direction shows a certain flatness that brings to an expansion of times, making the work apparently too long considering the content.


Best video in Photography Section, juror Lorenzo Guasti
Judgement:
Benjamin Pezzillo - "SleepWalking in VGA"
I think this is the best work. Pictures are original, "dirty" coherently with the subjects, cryptic as night is, disquieting as the taken places.
The soundtrack is guessed and also is the rhythm of slides.


Best video in Sport Section, juror Franco Morabito
Abraham Michael - "Wuji"
Judgement:
Movement is a kind of communication. The capability to transform it in Art comes from the technical characteristics of action and from the shooting and direction so to improve expressive values of gesture.
The work Wuji contains all these aspects and it's the right expression of what we can define art of sport.
