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.
