Winners Choice: Lei Lei

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.

This program screened as part of HAFF 2014
