SHORT

Winner 1 Veins of Grace

A very sensitive and personal experimental film combining dance, animation, sound design (including syllabic rhythm sounds such as bols or solkattu) A work that breaks boundaries between disciplines and carries strong cultural relevance. Not a completely perfect film in terms of visuals and timing, but an outstanding one among many more or less classical ones.

Winner 2 Frames

An experimental film centred on frames and the human being. Sonically very appealing, with absolutely captivating visuals. The level of abstraction in the story leaves plenty of room for the audience’s own thoughts even if it occasionally slips into arbitrariness.

Winner 3 The Bell Tolls close

A formally strong and original visual language for a disturbing story. The deliberately programmatic 3D style creates a sense of unease that serves the narrative. Deeply hit our inner soul.

Honourable Mentions The Fruit of Lies

A superbly timed animated film that sweeps us into the story of a girl who lies. Brilliantly told and visually masterful.

Very Short

Winner 1 Blotched

A very important moment for India (1917 - Satyagraha) told without showing just evoking thinks and told by a Childs voice. A great and important work so that important moments of history are not forgotten. Reduction and a high quality animation craft.

Winner 2 The Apple of Our Eyes

From the perspective of a child, it shows what happens in a toxic parental environment. Jury is deeply moved by this film and hope that everyone who sees it will reflect on how important it is to be aware of how struggles within a couple can affect children for life. Visually, it features many interesting transitions!
