GRAND PRIZE
Concurrent n°6:
BAZARNAÜM 493
BAZARNAÜM 493 is a graphic tale about the relationship between silence and noise, stability and dynamism, established order and avant-garde. We meet a face, the king of silence, who commands and watches over a space – the Palace of Fine Arts – by playing a small show. But when he falls asleep, his space becomes the scene of a carnival: a procession composed of a colorful fauna and flora invades the Palace, feasting on wild rhythms.
Waking up with a start, he tries to chase away the troublemakers. But the carnival people have not said their last word…
Direction: Simon Lazarus (France)

AUDIENCE PRIZE
Concurrent n°5:
Invisible to the naked eye
Some scientific discoveries invisible to the naked eye stimulate the imagination. Through the movement of visual and sound effects, this mapping is an invitation to travel through the building’s material. A dive from space to the particle, from reality to abstraction, in which the different architectural elements are anchored.
Direction: Néon Minuit (Dorian Rigal, Léon Denise), Jérémy Oury (France)
