EstDocs (the Estonian Documentary Film Festival in Toronto) announced the EstDocs Short Film Competition winners for 2014 at the EstDocs Gala event on Saturday, October 18, at the Bloor Hot Docs Cinema in Toronto. The event was hosted by EstDocs festival Director Kristi Doughty and moderated by journalist, filmmaker and public affairs broadcaster Indrek Treufeldt. The award winners were announced by EstDocs Short Film Competition Director, Tauno Mölder.
The EstDocs2014 short film jury would like to thank each of the 16 filmmakers who submitted films to the 2014 EstDocs short films competition. The theme for this year wasConnection|Ühenduswhich was interpreted by our filmmakers in diverse and compelling ways.
The films submitted were made by professional filmmakers, students, and film enthusiasts of all sorts - an exciting variety of voices. The quality of the films submitted this year was high, and the jury applauds each individual filmmaker for their effort. The films reflected Estonian stories told across the globe and our selections reflect the broad range of styles and topics among the films. The jury certainly valued the opportunity to screen so many thoughtful and unique expressions of this art form.
The jury deliberations were based on two fundamental aspects of filmmaking: story and style. How compelling, surprising, and/or memorable was the story, and then how well did the filmmaker work with their material stylistically, technically, and structurally?
