Jury Notes International Competition 2002:
The jury has decided to award three prizes in three separate
categories. The prize money will be shared evenly between
the artists, each of whom will receive the sum of 1600 Swiss
Francs.
For ist uncanny evocation of the darkest paranoid heart of
the American dream, ist sublime, low-key, lo-res photography,
ist careful knitting of narrative detail in a deftly paced,
pseudo-doc that lures ist viewer into a post-nuclear landscape
of radio communion and pharmaceutical salvation, the prize
for best paranoid fiction goes to Apple Grown in Wind Tunnel
by Steven Matheson.
For ist unrelenting stare into the vanishing point of human
existence, ist reply to Breton's charge that beauty be convulsive
or not at all, ist radical sense of portraiture which dares
to enter the aftershock of velopolitics and allows us to glimpse
the waning moments of humanity as we sit before the machines
which make the merely human a temporary appendage of a self-fulfilling
technology, the prize for best obsessional picture goes to
Du Moteur A Explosion by Dominic Gagnon.
For the stamina of personal vision which dares to find in
the everyday glimpses of a rare and sublime passion, for understanding
that these pictures have to be lived before they are produced,
for ist enclosed travelogue of barely met desires and palpable
longings, for sharing ist loneliness and the small hole we
each peer through named the personality, which is also here
the camera, the filmmaker herself no longer framing but framed,
for opening into a world that was closing all around her the
prize for best movie on a boat goes to Cargo by Laura Waddington.
