Raw Vision Short Film Competition

We are delighted to announce the winner of our short film competition. With over 100 entries it was very difficult for the judges to make their final decision as the standard of films was very high and they found it difficult to divide the top twenty or so from one another.

We hope very much to organise more public viewings of the films and will be arranging similar competitions in the future.

A big THANK YOU to all those who sent in such fascinating films - we really appreciate all your efforts and the subjects that were brought to light.

1st - The mysteries of pebbles
Film makers: Paolo Mucciarelli/Enrico Ranzanici 

2nd - Great Gardens Laz Pozas 
Film maker: Toby Amies 

3rd - Antonio Roseno de Lima
Film maker: Erika Manoni 

Thank you so much to our judges - Frank Maresca, Jeffrey Wolf, Bruno Ducharme, Javier Tellez and with help from James Brett. They looked through 100 films before arriving at the winner and runners up.

1st - Paolo Mucciarelli and Enrico Ranzanici's entry documents an unusual home or interior.

2nd - Toby Amies' entry presents Edward James’s concrete garden in a valley in the Mexican jungle. Originally built to spite nature which had killed his prized collection of orchids in a freak frost, Las Pozas became his most famous poem, one written in concrete.

3rd - Erika Manoni's entry introduces Antonio Roseno de Lima, known as ARL (1926–1998), who was born in Alexandria, a small city in northeastern Brazil. Finding himself reduced to poverty, he fixed up a living space for himself – a small, unsanitary cabin with no lighting in the "Três Marias" favela of Campinas – remaining there until his death. Although diagnosed with schizophrenia and diabetes, Antonio painted every day.
