Radar Awards Winners

Many thanks to the members of the RADAR INTERNATIONAL jury, Ruth Lingford, Noel Palazzo and Madi Piller.
The award is donated by Q21 / MuseumsQuartier Wien.

Jury statement: This is a simple film, which evokes complex thoughts and feelings. The filmmaker opens up our senses, recalling memories and connecting with our own personal experiences through examining the interiors of everyday life. The film uses playful humour and skillful timing and pacing to surprise and engage us. This is a wonderful example of reworking archive material to build a sense of the past, which reaches beyond the space that it represents.

Many thanks to the members of the RADAR AUSTRIAN jury, Anita Killi, Robert Dassanowsky and Aga Jarząb.
The award is donated by the Collecting Society of Audiovisual Authors – VdFS.

Jury statement: A captivating and disturbing combination of traditional oil painting with digital technology to comment on voyeurism in art and cinema. The author manages to extract from the still images the history and humanity hidden in them.

Many thanks to the members of the RADAR PITCH jury, Laure Goasguen, Marie Ketzscher, and Nancy Denney-Phelps.
The award is sponsored by the Austrian Economic Chamber (WKO & WKO Wien, Fachverband Film- und Musikwirtschaft).

Jury statement:  We have awarded the prize to a project whose unconventional humour and obvious public appeal was recognized immediately by the jury. We hope that the recipient will use the money to create several short punchy films that we look forward to seeing in the future.

Many thanks to Hubert Sielecki for donating this award.

Sielecki statement: A visit to the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna reveals portraits of people from times long gone, created by outstanding painters in art history. Through a meditative inspired presentation with special crossfading and morphing techniques, these strong appearances of once living people are set in motion and, with the author’s own music, are revived.

Many thanks to the members of the RADAR STUDENT jury, Anita Killi, Robert Dassanowsky and Aga Jarząb.
The award is donated by the University of Applied Arts Vienna.

Jury statement: For combining raw but efficiently designed and done executed animation with an moving story. For the ability to keep us involved in a socially and psychologically important subject using a drawing and graphic metaphor.

The award is donated by the Verwertungsgesellschaft für audiovisuelle Medien GmbH.
