"Social Animals" - The jury wants to award a prize to the film Social Animals for showing by acerbic characters how far humanity has come from being social using technological media.
"The Vast Landscape - porcelain stories" - The jury elected to give a prize to The Vast Landscape for its portrayal of a situation that not only happened in the past but touches many lives today. We also appreciated the beautiful puppet animation and the detailed set design.
"Tale" - The jury awarded Tale a prize because it manages, in a very entertaining manner, to put together a clever and humoristic story in a fun looking artistic style and slapstick, high paced animation.
Special Mentions:
"The Sky Above Me" - The jury wants to give a diploma to the film Sky Above Me for beautiful graphic expression of unnamed tensions and longings perfectly animated in sand.
"Common Room" - The jury appreciated the skill with which 13 animators each took on a segment of the poem Common Room, working on their own segments with complete creative freedom and yet made a film that works as a whole piece rather than 13 separate segments.
"The Waldgeist & me" - The jury has granted The Waldgeist & Me a diploma for its achievements in creating a strange relationship between unique characters while displaying artistic animation skills.
