Winners Choice: Jérémy Clapin

The Grand Prix winners of the 2013 shorts competition were given carte blanche as curators for a programme with their own favourites. Jérémy Clapin (Frankrijk) has won the Grand Prix for narrative shorts for the strangely beautiful Palmipedarium. Lei Lei (China) has won the Grand Prix for non-narrative shorts together with Thomas Sauvin for Recycled. This poetic work now serves as a point of departure for an equally impressive installation. These winning films are also in the programme, in the jury programme.

« I think that, when moving, you take over your own life. When you're free to come and go, to have gestures of... love, tenderness, anger, no matter. So when you are deprived of the ability to move, as I am, as many others are... in order to survive you need to reinvent movement. What goes on in my mind is not just intellectual. It's a way of re-creating an inner space which sets me free » Benoît Labaye
