Filmfoto: Benjamin Kračun for THE SUBSTANCE

Juryens uttalelse: “Just as Elisabeth Sparkle’s world in THE SUBSTANCE contracts, the cinematography of Benjamin Kračun simultaneously excels. Despite the constraints of her environment, he playfully explores her physical and psychological demise with highly stylised lens distortions and manipulations. It is loud and glossy, but also manages to eke out an unexpected intimacy and vulnerability. The audience is transported through to an unbearably painful, and hilariously raucous ending, achieved only through collaboration with all departments and is undoubtably a celebration of cinematography and cinema.”

Klipp: Juliette Welfling for EMILIA PÉREZ

Juryen: “In the feverish musical odyssey EMILIA PÉREZ, Juliette Welfling’s editing strikes us with its incredible fluidity and elegance. The richness of the story’s registers and tonalities is orchestrated with remarkable meticulousness, immersing the audience in the narrative without feeling any of the usual stop-and-go between sung scenes and the others. Very impressive!”

Produksjonsdesign: Jagna Dobesz for THE GIRL WITH THE NEEDLE

Juryen: “The difficult life and psychological drama of young Karoline in post-WWI Copenhagen is expertly illustrated by an excellent, interesting, visually strong, and striking production design. Through skillfully designed interiors, along with carefully chosen exteriors, production designer Jagna Dobesz strongly and powerfully contributes to the visual quality and atmosphere of the movie.”

Kostymedesign: Tanja Hausner for THE DEVIL’S BATH

Juryen: “With great precision and great intelligence, Tanja Hausner’s costumes in THE DEVIL’S BATH build every single character in a masterful and very modern way. They contribute perfectly to the overall picture and story. On top of that, each costume, including the background actors and extras, is a piece of art, exciting in colour, proportions, texture, and visual rhythm.”

Mask og sminke: Evalotte Oosterop for WHEN THE LIGHT BREAKS

Juryen: “Evalotte Oosterop’s make-up and hair in WHEN THE LIGHT BREAKS takes into account the complexity of the protagonists’ relationships. Without a guideline to follow, she creatively combines classic hairstyles with something we’re not so used to see, matching the story perfectly.”

Originale filmmusikk: Frederikke Hoffmeier for THE GIRL WITH THE NEEDLE

Juryen: “In an original and experimental way, Frederikke Hoffmeier’s original score in THE GIRL WITH THE NEEDLE works with distortion of acoustic sources and noisy electronic soundscapes. It is minimalistic so as not to steal the show but still to be remembered and conveys the cruelty of the protagonist’s experience. Next to the cinematography which seems extremely modern, although it’s a period film, the music has a modern and brave approach as well and creates a timeless musical language.»

Lyddesign: Marc-Olivier Brullé, Pierre Bariaud, Charlotte Butrak, Samuel Aïchoun & Rodrigo Diaz for SOULEYMANE’S STORY

Juryen: “A perfectly modulated masterpiece of sonic realism. Rather than relying on score, the film utilises dialogue, diegetic music, sound effects and atmospheres to dramatise a despairing journey through the cacophony of Parisian traffic, shops, offices, restaurants and Metro stations. The result is a brave, dynamic work of extreme emotional precision and subtlety. A sublime example of dramaturgical collaboration from script to sound design.”

Visuelle effekter: Bryan Jones, Pierre Procoudine-Gorsky, Chervin Shafaghi & Guillaume Le Gouez for THE SUBSTANCE

Juryen: “Combining organic SFX and VFX in a surprising way, THE SUBSTANCE shows high-level visual effects in good combination with prosthetics. Stepping back where necessary, there is a lot of excellent VFX which you don’t even notice.”
