Golden Shorts - Short Film Award of the City of Vienna

"A class room, a group of women, a male coach and seduction as the subject. Alina Rudnitskaya's film is an intimate play that sheds light on the gender ratio of our materialistic society. With sensitive observation, respect for the protagonists and without any kind of morally judgmental undertones, she draws a picture of society in the microcosm of a class room, refusing to take the easier route of "political correctness" and letting the audience leave the cinema with unanswered questions instead."

Special Mention (International Competition)

"A hot summer's day at the swimming pool, relaxation rituals and physical culture. This animation convinced us with its technical detail, humorous, subtle every day observations and perfect rhythm in both picture and sound."

Special Mention (International Competition)

"Seven minutes are plenty for this self-depreciating, absurd and campy video to put on a great homage to Queen and their famous, possibly their most famous song. A postmodern comedy of an unspecified genre."
