IMPAKT AWARDS 2006 After an enervating 17th issue of the Impakt Festival, the time has come to take stock. Under the header The Great Outdoors Impakt presented many outdoor projects this year. The first Dutch solo exhibition of the Swiss artist Olaf Breuning, the Panorama program, a retrospective of the Flemish visual artist Hans Op de Beeck and a video program on Street Art offered the public a broad range of films and videos. Many of the works in the Panorama program had their Dutch premiers during the festival. These works were eligible for an Impakt Award. The total prize money was 3000 Euro. For the first time this year, there was also the Juicy Meadows BeamSystems Award of 2000 Euro in kind for the best Dutch production. The Juicy Meadows Award is supported by BeamSystems, Projection and Video, Amsterdam.
The jury consisted of Hilde Teerlinck, Chris Keulemans and Patrick Huber this year. After having viewed the works and having consulted each other lengthily the jury came to the following decision: JUICY MEADOWS BEAMSYSTEMS AWARD 2006 2000 Euro in kind Beginnings Roy Villevoye (The Netherlands 2005, video, 18:40 min) GOLDEN IMPAKT AWARD 2006 1500 Euro Luukkaankangas updated, revisited Dariusz Kowalski (Austria 2004, video, 08:00 min) SILVER IMPAKT AWARD 2006 1000 Euro Wir sind dir treu Michael Koch (Germany 2005, 35mm video, 09:05 min) BRONZE IMPAKT AWARD 2006 500 Euro Collage Stina Wirfelt (Sweden 2004, video, 07:25 min) IMPAKT FESTIVAL 2006 HONOURABLE MENTION InchAllah Ria Paqcuée (Belgium 2005, video, 18:40 min) IMPAKT FESTIVAL 2006 HONOURABLE MENTION Das Modell Florian Gwinner (Germany 2006, video, 06:14 min) In the attached document youll find the Jury Rapport and biographies of the jury members. - IMPAKT PO BOX 735 3500 AS UTRECHT THE NETHERLANDS T: +31 30 2944493 F: +31 30 2944163 U: http://www.impakt.nl ______________________________________________ SPECTRE list for media culture in Deep Europe Info, archive and help: http://coredump.buug.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/spectre
