RIFF AWARDS 2020
|
RIFF celebrates dance- art and cinema- (hence the subtitle of the festival), so diversity is one of the most important principles for us. In this fifth edition there are powerful, visual, poetic, and provocative films, as well as realistic short films, humanist, humoristic, ecological, dance-theater films, documentaries about dance and art, animations, and local culture. The jury decided to keep several films as equal winners, because they represent the variety of the festival. The link between these films is that they are related to dance and movement, even though some are more experimental and others conceptual. WINNERS -Short films (under 20 min,): REPLAY, HANDS ON / OFF, HOME, ELEPHANTBIRD. -Feature-length/documentaries (over 20 min): WHY DO WE DANCE-TO PROVOKE. HONORARY MENTIONS -Short films (under 20 min): CLÉMENTINE, COSMIC FLING. -Feature-length/documentaries (over 20 min): BORN JUST NOW. **AUDIENCE AWARDS: REPLAY The winners will be awarded a residency at R.E.D. in 2021. The jury has this to say about the winning films: REPLAY by Bridget O´Driscoll The film is telling a strong story where a dancing-scene/a sensory experience is the peak/the turning point in the story. The film has a high production value, and is able to move the viewer, without being too sentimental. It highlights the importance of art, and manages to bridge more conventional storytelling with dance elements. HANDS ON/OFF by Katrine Kirsebom & Michael Mellemløkken The movement in the film is fascinating, and the background action well chosen as it manages to highlight the city and the inhabitants as a main part of the film. The editing and camera work (cinematograph as well as camera choreography) is excellent. The distinctly cinematic tool of close-up was used brilliantly. The film is particularly current in these times of healthy distance, where the hands touching each other becomes something to underline and appreciate, as they do it in this film. HOME by Larkin Poynton, Chris Martin, Andrew Ellis & Ben Stampler The film is an extremely well composed film that balances exquisite and highly rhythmical contemporary dance with beautiful moving cinematography. A Dance film with a message of love and compassion, with an equally interesting choreography as its cinematography, expressively moving the objective for the characters -to integrate others in their solitude. ELEPHANTBIRD by Masoud Soheili This cinematic film with great sound and a high production value is very realistic and is showing a dangerous situation inside an insecure country, as in deed Afghanistan is. The camera is well placed in a very dark context and the plot makes you do reflections on the evil of the human beings against their peers. WHY DO WE DANCE-TO PROVOKE by Marco Pianigiani The film is an excellent documentary on dance, beautifully photographing, editing, and exhibiting dance showing extreme and excessive feelings particularly relevant at this time. The five choreographers, to whom the documentary is dedicated, are really provoking social manners and art establishment, or going beyond dance limits. They are a real good example of breaking limits in contemporary dance and performance. CLEMENTINE by Chantal Caron The film shows exquisite nature and cinematography in combination with a strong performer, who is also the choreographer of this short film. She is concerned with ecological issues, and has an intention to show you how we are vanishing in the nature as complex animals confronted by the different sensations that nature gives. COSMIC FLING by Jonathan Langager This beautifully made animation has a tremendous strong plot where there is a drama of surviving in a future time where a man is traveling around the universe trying to give sense to his life. The film has very nice drawings in movement. BORN JUST NOW by Robert Adanto This documentary gives voice to a brave woman who has abandoned a "normal" domestic life in a conservative social environment for being a performance artist using her own body as a vehicle and main tool of her art and expression of freedom. The film has very interesting and beautiful, yet sometimes disturbing images, well collected, composed and told by the filmmaker. |
