> information about the jury
- In the Air by Liza Johnson (USA)
Statement of the jury: In the Air is a portrait of a “lost” generation in a community seeking expression and a meaningful future. The film’s experimental style blurs the boundary between fiction and documentary, which we feel reflects contemporary social reality. We appreciate that this film took risks and sought out creative, open-minded solutions.

- Luis and Lucía by Joaquín Cociña, Cristóbal León and Niles Atallah (Chile)
Statement of the jury: We understand Lucía and Luis as two parts of one project, two points of view in one story, which is why we chose the ex aequo nomination. The perfectly handcrafted, inventive technique of these animated films is impressive because of their strong materiality and their precise sound design. The interaction between the different 2D and 3D animation techniques, meaningfully interwoven with the narrative, creates two disturbing and mysterious films which are frightening in a very subtle manner.

- Kommt ein Sonnenstrahl in die Tiefkühlabteilung und weicht alles auf by Lisa Weber (Austria)
Statement of the jury: The 8 minute film is touching as a well observed and close look on a human co-existence where its dramatic part shows up little by little. The psychic trauma is portrayed accurately in every day situations. Lisa Weber does this in an impressive, non presumptuous and plain way and carefully presents her concern about this topic.
SPECIAL MENTIONS / AUSTRIAN COMPETITION
- K 11 - Confessions of a Sex Tourist by Puja Khoschsorur (Austria)
Statement of the jury: We, the Jury, discussed this film the most: this speaks volumes about the acuteness with which this disconcerting documentation presents its message.
- Commentary by Robert Cambrinus (Austria/UK)
Statement of the jury: An examination of the phenomenon of DVD-commentaries. The film, a family drama with commenting subtitles, questions itself in a complex and humorous way.

Renumeration: 500 Euros
Donated by: Elfi von Dassanowsky Foundation
- Parallax by Inger Lise Hansen (Austria/Norway)
Statement of the jury: The film by Inger Lise Hansen turns everything upside down and therefore shows us how deeply our visual perception is ruled by habits. –The snow-capped landscape turns into clouds that move disconcertingly fast. The sky turns into a bottomless shallow, interspersed with permanent shifts of parallaxes that caress the retina and above all of this there is a rhythmically assembled swoosh which leads us to the wrong place. – A very different kind of perceptive experience.
