Jacek Drosio for BODY (Ciało) Poland
Jury statement: "The editing of BODY/CIAŁO is an outstanding example of playful precision. Underpinned by shining humour, the montage uses cinematography’s many-faceted imagery to create space for each character, for each character’s dignity, the deceased and the viewer. Jacek Drosio allows us to linger, steps up the beat where needed and shifts perspectives to compose a splendid narration that brings all pain and longing together in a good laugh."
European Production Designer 2015: Sylvie Olivé for THE BRAND NEW TESTAMENT (Le Tout nouveau testament) Belgium/France/Luxembourg
Jury statement: "The design follows and supports the drama in a beautiful, funny and artistic way, mixing the real and the surreal with a lot of ironic fantasy."
European Costume Designer 2015: Sarah Blenkinsop for THE LOBSTER UK/Ireland/Greece/France/the Netherlands
Jury statement: "Using colour and shape in a wonderful way to paint each frame of the film, the costume design helps to realise the director’s vision. Every single item the actors wear has its own recognisable story."
European Composer 2015: Cat's Eyes for THE DUKE OF BURGUNDY UK/Hungary
Jury statement: "For a very brave and daring approach to film scoring, with all the right elements of musical craftsmanship and visual understanding."
European Sound Designer 2015: Vasco Pimentel & Miguel Martins for ARABIAN NIGHTS – VOL. I-III (As Mil e uma noites – Vol. I-III) Portugal/Germany/France/Switzerland
