1st Prize (2,500 euros)
Domin, libra nos
a video by: Oliver Pietsch
music: The Space Lady
production: Oliver Pietsch
Germany, 2006
Jury Statements:
The video Domin, libra nos by Oliver Pietsch we chose as the winner because it is conceptually pure. Impactful. It illustrates that music video is a grown-up art form. It can be edgy and brutal, not just entertaining and fun.
2nd Prize (1,500 euros)
I Have Seen You Dancing Better Than This
director: Luigi Archetti, Bo Wiget
production: Archetti & Wiget
music: Luigi Archetti, Bo Wiget
label: Rune Grammofon
Germany, 2006
Jury Statements:
We, the jury, chose this film for its seductive simplicity and humour. It perfectly complements the beauty and sincerity of the music. The musicians, directing their own piece, add a new dimension to the music.
3rd Prize (1,000 euros)
H.O.N.D. Aerobic
director: Mariola Brillowska
production: Interpol Filmproduktion
musik: Felix Kubin
label: Gagarin Records
Germany, 2007
Jury Statements:
What we liked about H.O.N.D. Aerobic was that it integrates performance art into the world of video clips in very humorous fashion and also its very graphic do-it-yourself aesthetics. Mariola Brillowska managed to develop her own refreshing and wonderfully bizarre visual language.
