Short Film Prizes go to "Mars" and "Dionysos"

 

The Cinegate Promotion Prize goes to Mars by Marcus Richardt.

Motivation of the Jury:
"
In contrast to the film’s name-giver Mars, the god of war, this successful short feature film by Marcus Richardt shows characteristic scenes of the currently existing phenomenon of girl gangs willing to resort to violence."

The Jury of the Cinegate Promotion Prize awards a Special Mention to Dana Linkiewicz for the film Pain Killer.

Motivation of the Jury:
"
We would simultaneously like to commend the short feature film Pain Killer by Dana Linkiewicz, which succeeds in depicting within very few minutes the tragic acumination of the demise of a marriage."

The ComLine Prize 2007 goes to Dionysos by Jörg Weidner and Anke Späth.

Motivation of the Jury:
"
We are awarding the Comline Prize to the animated film Dionysos by Jörg Weidner and Anke Späth because the film gives a convincing visual account of its topic, making use of various materials in the process."

The Jury of the ComLine Prize awards a Special Mention to Philipp Scholz for the film Dead Meat.

Motivation of the Jury:
"
We would simultaneously like to commend the film Dead Meat by Philipp Scholz for taking the viewer on a short, intense trip that leaves many traces."
