A German and a British filmmaker from South Korea win the Jury Award of the 1. International SinCity Film Award.
A young Italian contributor wins the Audience Award.
Berlin, 22 November 2011. SinCity, the hauntingly intense song by the young German singersongwriter SCHMIDT from Berlin, was the basis for filmic interpretations of the 21st century’s temptations. 85 filmmakers from 27 countries have sent in their music videos and shortfilms for the 1..International SinCity Film Award and presented astonishing works of passion and compassion, perils and pleasu¬res, visions and imaginations. The prizes, chosen by an acclaimed international jury and the audience, have an overall value of 20 000 Euro.
Overall Jury Prize (Euro 5.000)
The music video from South Korea was chosen by the jury as outstanding: filmmakers NILS CLAUSS and STUART HOWE were awar¬ded first place. Clauss, a German from Berlin, and Howe, an Englishman from Norwich, have been working and living in Seoul, the capital of South Korea, for several years now. The film plays on the transition between city and countryside in such an original way that even a fish finds himself in pure astonishment.
Jury Runners-up (each Euro 1.000)
Four more jury prizes go to SIMON ROGOWSKI / Inspiria from Germany, to ZOLTÄN BOGDÄN from Hungary, to CHRISTIAN MATSU¬MUTO and LAIA MIRET / We hate Sundays from Spain and to ZSUZSA KOHAN from England.
The Audience Award (Euro 5.000)
Determined by the means of worldwide facebook-likes, this prize goes to the contribution of SILVIA BORDIN, a young Italian photogra¬pher and filmmaker from Bologna. SCHMIDT on the film: That’s SinCity Italian style, right on the point – bravissimo!
