Trois des lauréats des "Excellence Awards" 2023
European Cinematography
Rasmus Videbæk pour The Promised Land
Le jury : “The poetic cinematography in The Promised Land illustrates perfectly that Rasmus Videbæk knows exactly where to push forward and where to stand back. Visually powerful, he doesn’t draw too much attention to the camera, leaving story and characters the room they deserve, be it working on the harsh Danish heath or inside the lodgings of the workers around Captain Ludvig Kahlen and the impressive mansion of the local sovereign.”

European Editing
Laurent Sénéchal pour Anatomie d’une chute
Le jury : “As this psychological drama slowly unfolds, Laurent Sénéchal’s editing is a main part of the story’s architecture. What is withheld and what is revealed at what time keeps surprising the viewer, adds to our impression of the characters and gives the story its pace. New bits of information keep changing what we thought we knew.”

European Production Design
Emita Frigato pour La chimera
Le jury : “Matching completely different styles, Emita Frigato’s production design creates the spaces in which this fairy tale can really unfold. In a perfect balance, precise historical knowledge of both ancient Italian art and of this part of Italy in the 1980s is joyfully mixed with a kind of magic realism. All rooms and spaces contain a reality that is supported by textures, trinkets and kitchen utensils, never taking over the story but enhancing what happens and the characters who are in it.”
