Competitions Results Announced

2010 PLUS CAMERIMAGE FESTIVAL

PRIZEWINNERS OF FESTIVAL COMPETITIONS



MUSIC VIDEOS COMPETITION:

  • Best Music Video:
    Kora, “Zabawa w chowanego" (Game of Hide-and-Seek) - Cinematographer Marek Sanak; Director Bartłomiej Ignaciuk
    For the Best Video, the jury felt almost unanimously, that Kora Jackowska's video for "Zabawa W Chowanego" did an excellent job of visually contributing to communicating an important socially relevant message. An ambition which goes far above and beyond the scope of most videos, and we congratulate the film makers for their successful efforts and effective use of the medium.
  • Best Cinematography:
    How to Destroy Angels, “The Space Between" - Cinematographer Greig Fraser; Director Rupert Sanders
    For Best Cinematography in a video, our jury has found Greig Fraser's photography on the "The Space Between" video by How To Destroy Angels to be the perfect synthesis of sound and image. More than any other, this video looks like it sounds, and the only word to describe that is cinematographic perfection.

The Documentary Feature Films Competition Honorable Mention goes to cinematographer Pau Mirabet for the film Letters from the Desert (Eulogy to Slowness).
  • Discovery Networks Central Europe Award:

    POLISH FILMS COMPETITION:

  • Golden Frog Award: Little Rose
    This film told the most profoundly involving story. The woman at its heart dramatizes a half century of Polish history purely by being herself. The camera-work served this complicated tale by never distracting its viewers with technical bravura, leading us to feel what we were seeing. The Polish Film Competition Golden Frog Award goes to Little Rose, photographed by Piotr Wojtowicz and directed by Jan Kidawa-Błoński.
