Results of the film competition
The wonderful 3-day film adventure of the 19th edition of the HoryZonty Adventure Film Festival culminated on Saturday evening with the announcement of the winners of the film competition. The international jury consisting of Joanna Kozuch, Rasťo Hatiar and Peter Kotrha awarded the following prizes:
Grand Prix
Film: KEEP IT BURNING
Director: Guillaume Broust / FRA /
The film, with insight and without unnecessary pathos, faithfully portrays a strong family bond. Against the background of the impressive climbing performance of the father and his two sons, we follow not only their determination, but also the joy of the interconnected adventure.
Best slovak film
Film: AT SEA
Director: Martin Marko / SVK /
An ordinary story told in an extraordinary way.
Best outdoor film
Film: CHRONOCEPTION
Director: Guillaume Broust / FRA /
The original connection of outdoor sports and the discovery of local culture through the prism of the everyday life of local residents.
If you haven’t dreamed of Kyrgyzstan yet, you will definitely be after seeing this brilliant picture.
Special award for an eco-friendly film
Film: VAGABONDS OF LOGAN
Director: Mathieu Rivoire / FRA /
The film captures the three-month adventure with ease and without unnecessary dramatization, but at the same time faithfully, and all this using minimal film technology.
Short film award
Film: SOUNDSCAPE
Director: Timmy O´Neill / USA /
A deeper look at how it is possible to perceive mountains not only from a visual perspective, but also through other senses. An important part of the story is also the relationship between the people who accompany the blind man to the top of the mountain, which shows the power of mutual help and trust.
Honorable mention of the jury
Film: TWO POINT FOUR
Director: Natasha Brooks / UK /
An inspiring family story about trust, overcoming prejudices and the fact that we often set our own boundaries.
