Jury Unveils First Six EFA Winners

 

Awards for Cinematography, Editing, Design, Costumes, Music & Sound

The European Film Academy announces the first winners who will be honoured at this year’s 28th European Film Awards. A special seven-member jury convened in Berlin and, based on the EFA Selection list and the additional film entries, decided on the winners in the categories cinematography, editing, production design, costume design, composer and sound design. The European Film Academy congratulates the following awards recipients:

   

The photography in GOODNIGHT MOMMY is extremely consistent and suggestive. Every frame is created in the atmosphere of the film and strengthens its dramaturgy. These pictures are testimony to the huge visual sensitivity of the cinematographer. They are an excellent example of the use of composition and light and offer a new, very modern understanding of the art of cinematography.

European Cinematographer 2015 – Prix Carlo di Palma:

Martin Gschlacht
for GOODNIGHT MOMMY (Ich Seh Ich Seh) 
Austria

The editing of  BODY/CIAŁO is an outstanding example of playful precision. Underpinned by shining humour, the montage uses cinematography’s many-faceted imagery to create space for each character, for each character’s dignity, the deceased and the viewer. Jacek Drosio allows us to linger, steps up the beat where needed and shifts perspectives to compose a splendid narration that brings all pain and longing together in a good laugh.

The design follows and supports the drama in a beautiful, funny and artistic way, mixing the real and the surreal with a lot of ironic fantasy:

Belgium/France/Luxembourg

Using colour and shape in a wonderful way to paint each frame of the film, the costume design helps to realise the director’s vision. Every single item the actors wear has its own recognisable story.

The Sound Design for ARABIAN NIGHTS possesses a strong identity, combining documentary and fiction styles. Each sound sequence develops an original point of view closely matching the narration. The result is brilliant poetry, full of life and boldness.
