RADIX, conceived and directed by Cristiano Leone, is an audio-visual project that promotes a dialogue between contemporary creation and historical heritage. Filmed in Italy.
The Wind and the Kite –
"for its imaginative treatment of a traditional theme. The intimate camera work, which contributed to the effectiveness of the dancing and the choreographic exploration of movement. For the extraordinary light."
Cascades –
"for youthful exuberance and free playful use of cinematic editing."
Omen –
"for the drama and beauty of the photography/filming and aerial choreography and performance in the canyon."
Dirt –
"for its originality and thoughtfulness. For the experimental multimedia effects."

Squib:When All Of This Is Over
-- for UK Poet, Anthony Anaxagorou and One6th Animation Studio's collaborative work to create a poem-based film in response to lockdown. Superb cinematic stop-motion film artistically delves into the emotion of Anthony's poem (Squib). It highlights claustrophobic lockdowns with a hopeful look towards the future. Its use of multiple animation elements, puppets and enhanced movement to capture the essences of the poem.
Amber Thief
--for the extensive development of a unique story-line that uses traditional animation techniques and graphics with stop-motion precision. Jonathan Riles directs, produces, writes and animates his student thesis, backed-up by a crew of many to produce this epic animation.
The Combine
--for the quality of both the poem by Bill Ratner, and animation by Micah Chambers-Goldberg; they join to build a unique presentation in verse and music of an actual event on the railroad. A railway switchman creates a train incident, yet the blame goes to a Native American, who is innocent, yet suffers injuries at the hands of his accuser.
--For the clever and artistic use of puppetry as a basis for the animation of a sweet and simple tale. Alex and Olmsted is an is an internationally acclaimed puppet theater company that crosses barriers in the arts to produce extraordinary work.
