Swiss Special Mention

“Aubade” Mauro Carraro, CH 2014, 5’14“

The rising sun, passing seagulls, early swimmers and delicate colours reflected on the calm surface of the water are the backdrop for a concert by cellist Mich Gerber at the Bains des Pâquis in Geneva. Mauro Carraro uses animation to weave these ingredients into a poetic and enchanting viewing experience.

Jury laudation: ”We would like to mention a film that impressed us with striking images and perfect synchronisation with music, unfolding a graceful groove while taking us into a contemplative mood, capturing the special atmosphere of a particular moment of the day at an actual, unique place in Switzerland. ”
