"I was extremely impressed by the breadth and range of the experimental
films, from the momentous made morbid to the domestic made dance," said
Charlie White, judge for the Experimental category.
"It was a true pleasure to serve on this jury and feel refreshed and
inspired by the creative energy of the work submitted," said Lucy Walker,
judge for the Documentary category. "Short form documentary work is evolving
