The winner of the 2021 edition of SHORT on WORK was:
Winner
‘L’Au-delà ‘ by Daniel Maurer (Switzerland, 2021)
Reason
A very attentive follow-up of the work of an occulted profession, the funeral treatment of our dead, redoubled in these times of covid. An observation treated with great dignity and sobriety of image and means, as it should be.
Special mentions
‘Toke’ by Ayuso José Antonio Álvarez (UK, USA, 2021)
Reason
The short represents the dimension of disability at work with a refined story, characterized by a wise use of photography, editing and soundtrack.
‘Je suis un poisson’ by Salomé Rouaud-Nicod (Francia, 2020)
Reason
The video shows, using the animation, something extremely realistic in the world of work: the defense of one’s identity and “nature” from professional homogenisation.
‘Porappe’ by Jesús Martínez (Spagna, 2021)
Reason
A story about the new child-workers of the web, that through a wise use of the fixed camera is able to enhance an excellent performance supported by a skillful script.
