DUFF20 POBJEDNICI / THE WINNERS

The film deserved a Special Mention for the masterful use of cut-out animation technique, efficiently combining visual elements with sound effects and involving viewers to a beautiful and pleasant sensory experience.

Film zaslužuje posebno priznanje žirija prvenstveno zbog majstorske upotrebe cut-out animacijske tehnike i uspješnog kombiniranja vizualnih i zvukovnih elemenata kojima se poziva gledatelja na jedno predivno, osjetilima ugodno filmsko iskustvo.

The award goes for the high quality of the animation made by children, presenting an irreverent and dystopian story. The film induces viewers to a strange sensation by presenting a place where humans were extinct, and fishes began to behave like human beings. The film proposes an environmental reflection in a very creative and fun way.

Nagrada se dodjeljuje veoma visokoj razini animacije koja uspješno uvodi gledatelja u jednu distopijsku situaciju i oslikava ju na veoma kreativan i smiješan način, istovremeno uspješno šaljući nedvosmislenu ekološku poruku.

The film was very meticulously planned, creating a playful and charming atmosphere. The 3d animation was very well executed, and the film takes viewers to moments of lightness and enchantment, interspersed with moments of suspense and action.The story presents a fictitious inspiring solution to a question that many children ask, when their balloons rise and disappear in the skies.

Ovaj veoma pažljivo planiran i uspješno realiziran film vodi nas u ozračje u kojem se lakoća i čarolija jednog trenutka izmjenjuje s trenutcima napete akcije. 3d animacija je veoma dobra i pridonosi razigranosti i ljepoti cjeline, a priča nudi jedno zanimljivo i inspirativno rješenje zagonetke u zraku nestalih balona.

Asking questions in its particular ways made this classical documentary stand out as it pushed the audience to understand who they are from their standpoint, as it gives them the opportunity to change. Beautiful work!

Postavljajući pitanja na jedan poseban, sebi svojstven način, ovaj se klasični dokumentarac ističe sposobnošću da natjera gledatelja na propitivanje samoga sebe, pružajući mu priliku da se promijeni. Predivan uradak!

This film has earned the award for a documentary portrayal of a cross border region between Spain and Portugal. The portrayal is both powerful and lyric in the description of the region’s centuries old harmony of its nature, people and historical circumstances. The region seems to continually inspire with its exceptional beauty, which the authors have managed to capture in simple yet impressive shots.

Ovaj film uspjeva  snažno, a ujedno i lirski poetično portretirati međugranično područje Španjolske i Portugala, koje stoljećima živi u skladu prirode, ljudi i povijesnih okolnosti; to područje ne prestaje biti nadahnućem svojom iznimnom ljepotom koju su autori filma na jednostavan, ali dojmljiv način prenijeli u svaki kadar.

An almost unbelievably mature description of growing up, of the present reality and future hopes. The author manages to provide a rare combination of perspectives on his existential dilemmas, providing both subjective introspections and objective descriptions. A fantastic self-documentary written and directed as a real life drama. 

Za nevjerojatno zreo prikaz odrastanja, sadašnjeg života i razmišljanja o budućnosti mladog Izraelca koji kao autor filma ostvaruje rijetko viđen spoj introspekcije i promatranja sa strane vlastite egzistencije; sjajan autodokumentarni film koji se prati kao uzbudljiva drama s čvrsto postavljenim dramskim lukom.

For their incredible performances, creative use of camera, the rhythm and tension built easily and never linearly, this film created true window into the psychology of young girls on their scary adventure.

Izvanredne glumačke uloge, kreativna uporaba kamere, sjajan ritam i napetost koja se gradi s lakoćom, ali nikada linearno, odlike su ovog filma koji uspjeva otvoriti prozor u psihu djevojaka tijekom njihove zastrašujuće avanture.

Dealing with deep existential and emotional dilemma this character makes us inspect our own integrity, story is told maturely using the tools to elevate the difficult journey of its protagonists. 

Baveći se dubokim egzistencijalnim i emocionalnim nedoumicama, glavni nas lik tjera da propitamo vlastiti integritet. Priča je ispričana na veoma zreo način, a redatelj koristi razna sredstva ne bi li olakšao emocionalno putovanje glavnih likova.

Za briljantno korištenje različitih filmskih tehnika i animacijskih pristupa u pričom fokusiranom, a slikom rafiniranom tumačenju ljudskih sudbina određenih rijetkim bolestima; iako svakog dana suočeni s velikim zdravstvenim izazovima, troje ljudi u ovom očaravajućem filmu postaju vjesnicima nade i optimizma.

The film brilliantly employs various film techniques and animation approaches to interpret human lifes defined by rare diseases. The focused story and subtle imagery slowly lead towards an optimistic conclusion.

Za izvrsno izabranog protagonista koji je u Ratu u Bosni i Hercegovini preživio genocid u Srebrenici, ali je odlučio živjeti nasuprot mržnji i isključivosti; efektan i promišljen režijski pristup kombiniranja potresne, ali nadahnjujuće ispovijesti s kadrovima prirode i literature upozorava da je svaka mržnja kraj života.

A great protagonist who, although a victim of hate, has decided not to indulge in hatred. The director’s approach of fusing the disturbing but inspiring narration with landscapes and literature is methodical and very effective in a warning message that where there is hate, there is no life.

Za mudro i dirljivo složenu mizanscenu u kojoj skupina djece malo-pomalo primjećuje svoju usamljenu vršnjakinju koja, premda različita od njih, s njima dijeli ono najvažnije u životu: potrebu za ljubavlju, prijateljstvom i – solidarnošću; film na najboji način – i umjetnički i sadržajno – promiče temu o kojoj govori.

The film is awarded for its both clever and touching staging of the characters in promoting the topic of solidarity. Little by little, a group of children become aware of a lonely girl of their age. The girl is different but they slowly start realizing that, no matter how different we are, there are things we all have in common – love, friendship and solidarity.

For the power of narrative and imagery, combined with the technique of animation efficiently used and the ability to tell a Mongolian folk tale with poetry and charm, through audiovisual resources. The soundtrack, complementing the playful sequences of animated images, also deserves to be highlighted.

Ovo je film snažne priče i razigrane slikovitosti koji veoma efikasno koristi animaciju da bi nam slikom i glazbom ispričao jednu tradicionalnu mongolsku narodnu priču. Vrijedi istaknuti i glazbu korištenu u filmu, koja izvrsno nadopunjuje razigranu poetičnost slike.
