closing ceremony

After an exciting week filled with film, music, partying, rain and thunder, the time had come to announce the winners of 15th IN THE PALACE International Short Film Festival in the different competition categories.

During the closing ceremony of its 15th edition the festival made an unexpected official statement which shocked the audience attended the closing event. For more information, please check below in the article.

PITCHING SESSION

PSYCHICKEN, by Ata Mojabi, Italy

psychicken

It is often said that drama is a far easier genre to tackle compared to comedy and so one could not ignore the many laughs that one project succeeded in raising during the pitch. A homage to such legendary animators as Chuck Jones and Tex Avery, we award the pitch award to ATA MOJABI for PSYCHICKEN and hope to see it at this festival soon.

Jury members: Faisal Azam-Qureshi, Massimiliano Nardulli, Rossitsa Valkanova

STUDENT COMPETITION

SPECIAL MENTION FOR BEST STUDENT FICTION: MILLIMETERLE by Pascal Reinmann, Switzerland

millimeterle

The discussion concerning Best Student Short was heated and passionate. Special mention should be given to a visually impressive yet compelling short that didn't flinch from the darkness of teenage sexual violence. So the jury notes the accomplishment of Pascal Reinmann's MILLIMETERLE.

BEST STUDENT FICTION: SHADOWS, by Victoria Karakoleva, Bulgaria

shadows

For the freshness and poetical approach to a sensitive issue, for the beauty of its cinematic expression, the prize for the best student fiction goes to Shadows by Victoria Karakoleva.

 

BEST STUDENT ANIMATION: HAPPY END by Jan Saska, Czech Republic

happy end

The range of animation and techniques in the animation category varied from surreal claymation to imaginative computer graphic imaging. Subjects ranged from an examination of the subconscious to the tactile nature of love. Despite this, story was often neglected in favour of style but this can't be said for the winning animation. A short non-linear examination of the consequences of a simple accident, the jury is unified in awarding best animation to Jan Saska for HAPPY END.

BEST STUDENT DOCUMENTARY: THE SANDMAN by Lauren Knapp, USA

the sandman

Many of the documentaries blurred the lines between observation and staging for visual effect. There were diverse subject matters from an elderly painter of religious icons to a post-apocalyptic landscape where horses live amongst the ruins of man's civilisation. But one documentary stood out for it's examination of medical ethics colliding with over-reaching state power. Given unique access to those who wield the power of life and death over one of the biggest prison populations in the US, the jury is unified in awarding best documentary to Lauren Knapp for THE SANDMAN.

Jury members: Denis Mujovic, Faisal Azam-Qureshi, Manuela Cernat

DOCUMENTARY COMPETITION

SPECIAL JURY MENTION: MERYEM by Reber Dosky, The Netherlands

meryem

A powerful look at conflict through the eyes of a group of brave and awesome warrior women.

BEST DOCUMENTARY: RAKIJADA - DISTILLATED VILLAGE TALES by Nikola Ilic, Serbia/Switzerland

rakijada

A refreshing and humorous portrayal of a small community and its eccentric characters that makes us understand the complex nature of Serbian men.

Jury members: Kasia Klimkievich, Massimiliano Nardulli, Philip Ilson

OSCAR QUALIFICATION CONTENDERS COMPETITION

SPECIAL JURY MENTION: DOWNSIDE UP by Peter Ghesquiere, Belgium

downside up

This film is a very clever take on the world being different. Turning Down’s syndrome into the norm was very creative. Looked beautiful, great cinematography. Complete story was told in a compact style.

SPECIAL JURY MENTION FOR SOCIAL CONSCIOUSNESS FILM: HAVE NO FEAR by Marco Calvise, Italy

have no fear

Absolute tour de force acting by all, gripping Alzheimer’s tale with an emotional punch that breaks your heart.

BEST BULGARIAN SHORT FILM: BANGO VASSIL by Milen Vitanov, Bulgaria

bango vassil

This Bulgarian film is lovely animation. It tells a very strong story, appropriate for both children and adults, with a nod to today’s racial tensions.

BEST INTERNATIONAL ANIMATION: CONFINO by Nico Bonomolo, Italy

confino

This film is beautiful animation with a great story very well told. It is a very beautiful use of storytelling with a strong emotional punch

BEST INTERNATIONAL SHORT: WAVE by Benjamin Cleary and T J O’Grady Peyton, Ireland

wave

This film is a unanimous decision, imaginative, humorous, touching, different and inventive. It made us watch closely. Creating a unique language is very clever. The actor/director carried the film with ease. At 16 minutes it was perfectly timed.

Jury members: Alan McQueen, Bozhidar Manov, Sandi Sissel

 

SOFIA UNIVERSITY "ST. KLIMENT OHRISKI"AWARD: SHAME by Petar Krumov, Bulgaria

shame

Petar Krumov is awarded for his specific cinematic expression, original story and good direction. He uses his good command of the black-and-white form in order to intensify the message of the story and the main character’s inner world. The optimistic ironical ending balances the realistic depiction of the dark life of a teenager in unprivileged or unfavorable conditions. The cast of non-professional actors contributes to the spontaneity and truthfulness of characters’ representation. Due to the originality of the narrative, the realistic and natural acting (of course attainable due to adequate director’s work) the cinema-verité taste of the camera movement, and the social thematic, this films stands out in contemporary Bulgarian short film making. 

Congratulations to all winners of 15th IN THE PALACE International Short Film Festival!

On behalf of all the team, we would like to thank all our festival partners, the volunteers under Erasmus+ Program of EU, the participants, our guests and jury members.
