Capturing Freedom 2019: And The Winners Are...!
The Adam Mickiewicz Institute and the Transatlantyk Festival have announced the winners of this year’s edition of the Capturing Freedom Short Film Contest. Both the jury and the public have made their decisions: out of over 300 films sent from around the globe, four finalists were chosen!
The theme for this year’s Capturing Freedom Short Film Contest was 'Common Values'. The Adam Mickiewicz Institute and the Transatlantyk Festival invited young filmmakers to reflect on the meaning of individual and collective freedom.
The contest was open to film school students of graduates, up to the age of 35. Submitted films were to be no longer than 10 minutes long.
The jury decided to give out four awards – action cameras and invitations to participate in the Transatlantyk Festival in Łódź, where the winning films will be screened. The award ceremony will take place in July during the festival.
The best films were selected by a jury of two: Joanna Łapińska, programme director of the Transatlantyk Festival, and Grzegorz Skorupski, film expert at the Adam Mickiewicz Institute
The winning films:
What Else Needs to Happen?
Directed by: Marie Lavis, France, 2018
The jury's decision:
For a simple, metaphoric, yet disturbingly suggestive form that invites both reflection and attention to the poignant subject matter of the film.
NSC
Directed by: Akim Dolinsky, Israel, 2019
The jury's decision:
For the efficient use of film fiction in drawing attention to technology's increasingly bold approach towards the limits of what is human and emotional and the consequences that follow it.
Short Changed
Directed by: Zoë Hutber, UK, 2018
The jury's decision:
For creating a mechanical, soulless and disturbing world and offering a critical reflection of its inhumane values.
