Anča Award
Nothing Happens
directors: Uri a Michelle Kranot

The film left a big impact on us. We were caught by the atmosphere and hypnotizing pace. It’s a deep experience that doesn’t leave you and something does happen.

w/o
director: Sanni Lahtinen
Finland, 2018
The video captures you on first sight – it pulls you in and spits you out at the end. The visuals reflect the music with very organic and dynamic flow. The rhythm, colors and animation take you on a thrilling emotional journey.

Divisional Articulations
