Dorit Chrysler
Happyland

Jury Statement:
The protagonists of the film are musicians, and vice versa: the music is the focal point of a narrative that takes its characters seriously in their desires, their pathos, and their humor. Dorit Chrysler’s compositions not only carry the film – they connect worlds, tell of departure and fragility, and remain distinct in their own right.

Alicia Mendy & Baby Volcano
Girls & Gods

Jury Statement:
In the film’s search for the most fitting argument, fighting in the ring with patriarchy, it requires rapped, accelerated support and energetic beats. In this sense, the film’s music acts as a forward-driven force, both functioning independently and in harmony with the overall structure of the film.
