1 win & 1 nomination
- 2014 Winner Award of the City of RegensburgThough there were a lot of great short films of all different kinds there was a special one, which all of us decided to choose as a winner. Neither did the movie use many special effects, nor is it an avantgardistic artclip. Whilst we found it to be a very classical drama, it had all what we thought a short movie needed. The characters and their first impression left on the viewers developed in a very special and provocative way. Although the film's main issue is very serious, the filmmakers were still able to add a touch of comedy by breaking the viewers expectations. The actors aswell as the subtle but nonetheless extraordinary camera work impressed us with authenticity and modesty. The viewer takes part in a family situation in an old house in the countryside, watching a young girl grow up. Her father, in spite of wanting to protect her, has to struggle with his sexual attraction to her. The film deals with the main problem, the father's projection of his sexual desires on his family, in an interesting and gripping way. The progression of the film allows for a connection to the father figure and the issues he is surrounded by, which turn out to be different from what is expected at first. This non-judgemental display was one of the main reasons for our final decision.
