The Jury of the 6^th edi­tion of Cam­era Obscura The Art of Report­age Fest­ival, includ­ing: Lidia Duda, Ilze Bukowska Jac­ob­sen, Grzegorz Klatka and Ant­oine Leonard Maes­trami announced the res­ults of the contest.

Rysz­ard Kapuś­ciński Grand Prix, worth 3.000 euro, in the inter­na­tional con­test of report­ages under 20 minutes, was given to the film “Gold­fish” by Tomasz Wol­ski. Jus­ti­fy­ing its ver­dict, the jury wrote that the award is given for the sim­pli­city of the film struc­ture, the abil­ity to give insight into beha­viour and human­istic approach to the char­ac­ter.

The Main Prize, worth 1.500 euro, in the Pol­ish con­test of report­ages under 20 minutes, was given to the film “The Cit­izen Dorothy” (Oby­wa­telka Dorotka). The work of Bry­gida Frosztęga-​Kmiecik and Iza­bela Szukal­ska was awar­ded for the cre­at­ive poten­tial and the per­cep­tion of small-​big life struggles.


Hon­or­ary award for the best invest­ig­at­ing report­age went to “Kto prowadzi grę wokół Aleksandra Gud­zowa­t­ego?” by Przemysław Woj­ciechow­ski. The jury was delighted by the sub­stan­tial pre­par­a­tion to the topic, amass­ing sur­pris­ing doc­u­ment­a­tion and the abil­ity to work on the set, which res­ul­ted in per­fect psy­cho­lo­gical por­trait of the main prot­ag­on­ist.

Hon­or­ary award for the best his­tor­ical doc­u­ment­ary was handed to the authors of “Tianan­men: 20 years after the massacre”(Tiananmen: 20 lat po masakrze). Shi Ming and Thomas Weiden­bach were given the prize for an enorm­ous con­tri­bu­tion to the journ­al­ist work and reach­ing new doc­u­ment­ary mater­i­als related to the his­tory of this still cur­rent sub­ject.
