The projection of ten selected Czech competition films oscillates between film and an artistic concept with animation components. The international jury will consist of: the American filmmaker and gallery owner Pip Chodorov, the head of the Vienna sixpackfilm Brigitta Burger-Utzer, and the Slovak film theorist and managing editor of “Kino-Ikon” magazine Martin Kaňuch.
The Brno artist David Možný's film Rahova became the winner of the Other Visions competition section. The three-member jury appreciated this film for its excellence, conceptually and technically, in image and sound. According to the jury, the film composites an inside view into the architecture and the elements of construction showing the vulnerability of a formerly pre-fabricated living environment. It shows dystopia in a playful way, rather than depressing. Rahova was also awarded by the audience.
