Global short film and video competition for the film and advertising industries recognizes House Special’s ‘A Tale of Momentum & Inertia,’ ‘A Girl Named Elastika’ directed by Guillaume Blanchet, and NYOD ‘Long Live New York’ by Y&R New York.
NEW YORK -- The One Club, producers of the prestigious One Show Awards, have announced the winners for the One Screen Film Festival, a global short film and video competition for the film and advertising industries. Winners were honored at the Sunshine Cinema, a Landmark Theatre in New York City's Lower East Side.
One Screen recognized 20 winners in seven film categories and in several film craft and technique categories. Kevin Tenglin won Best of Show for The Gunfighter, which also won in the Narrative category.
A Tale of Momentum & Inertia by House Special, A Girl Named Elastika directed by Guillaume Blanchet, and NYOD “Long Live New York” by Y&R New York each received prizes for animation.
“One Screen nearly doubled in size since last year,” said Jonathan Jirjis, One Screen Producer and One Club Video Producer. “We have almost twice the number of submissions from twice the number of countries. The theater for the screening itself is also more than double the size of last year's. We've gained a lot of momentum, and it shows in the quality of the winners.”
Winners were determined by a jury of filmmakers, including hip-hop legend and producer the RZA; Oscar-winning short film director Joachim Back; Stephanie Riggs, who produced the first-ever feature film released in virtual reality via Oculus Rift; and previous One Screen Best of Show winner Martín Rosete, who is now directing feature films.
