3. Margarita Novikova, Seasicknesses, 2013, Russia
Seasicknesses:
Filmed during a 1-month expedition in Pacific. The main idea of the film was to match the largeness and greatness of the ocean and its cosmic rhythm of rolling eternity with small human beings on the ship on the ocean, fussy and busy with their minor problems. People (sailors, scientists and poachers) are present in the video as voices only – they are reasoning, discussing, talking with each other about some simple things and sometimes questionable dealings – and the ocean sounds and moves alone in the frames. The ocean does not care about them or their business.

5. Dominik Ritszel, Film o szkole, 2014, Poland 00:09:13
The video focuses on specific architectural elements in the space of the school, which create a symbolic game field between the students and the institution. The students’ silhouettes are inscribed into the growing rhythm of the building’s architecture; passages, dressing room, corridors, gyms etc. The building seems to be obsessed with organising and putting everything in order. Institutions take away the feeling of identity, imposing not only the discipline of given actions, but also the discipline of existence.
Dominik Ritszel was born in 1988 in Rybnik. He studied at the Faculty of Graphics at the Institute of Arts at the University of Silesia in Cieszyn and at the Academy of Fine Arts in Katowice, where he did graphic arts. His works were exhibited, among others, at international video art festivals Les Rencontres Internationales (Gaîté Lyrique, Palais de Tokyo, Paris) and Video Art Review THE 02 Spaces as a tool for shaping social attitudes. He participated in group exhibitions, such as the Show Off Section at the Krakow Photomonth Festival (2013), Curators Network in the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCAK) in Krakow (2012), Mum, I just really need to focus on my art right now in the Arsenał Gallery in Poznan (2012), and in a collective exhibition presenting works of young Silesian artists Mleczne Zęby (Milk Teeth) in the BWA Contemporary Art Gallery in Katowice (2013). He had solo exhibitions in the Centre for Contemporary Art Kronika in Bytom and in the Silesian Museum in Katowice. He was chosen among the three finalists of the Talenty Trójki 2013 contest in the Visual Arts category, he was short-listed for the Grey House Foundation Prize. In 2014 he was awarded the Young Poland Programme scholarship. In spring 2014 he stayed in the A-I-R Laboratory in the Centre for Contemporary Art Ujazdowski Castle as an artist in residence, where he produced Versus presented in Bank Pekao Project Room in Warsaw. In 2015 he participated in a group exhibition Waiting for Better Times curated by Magda Kardasz (Zachęta Project Room, Warsaw).
6. Isabella Gresser, Nietzsche a Nice, 2013, Germany 00:05:00
Friedrich Nietzsches „Noon and Eternity“ in times of mass tourism and digital viewing habits. A young tourist is mirroring himself on his tablet PC at the beach while in the air above Nice, up to 49.000 passengers a day, longing for happiness. Down at the beach they can watch themselves flying over. An animated screenplay frames the setting for Nietzsche’s thoughts out of his late work written in Nice. As if the sky embodies a dystopian image of “The eternal return of the same”.
Isabella Gresser is a visual artist living in Berlin since 1998. In addition to studies at the University of Fine Arts in Braunschweig with Marina Abramović, she has studied at the Berlin University of the Arts (UdK) as part of the Free Class. Her multilayered videos—in which distinctions between analog and digital technologies are foregrounded—encompass found-footage, drawings and photographs combined with literature. Main subjects in recent years have been Western and Eastern cultures, as well as sociology and philosophy referring to global tiredness and "Fatigue societies". She has been awarded residencies in Asian countries and her videos have screened at many international art and film festivals.

Jury of 2nd stage: Mikołaj TrzaskaMikołaj Trzaska – born in Gdańsk, saxophonist, bass clarinetist and composer, grew out of yass – a socio-artistic movement that in the 80-ties/ 90-ties opposed the rigidity of Polish jazz environment. Together with Tymon Tymański and a group of other musicians free from any doctrine they changed the image of Polish jazz music. Trzaska was the co-founder of the most important yass group – legendary Miłość and of as creative Łoskot. Although the impetus of yass faded away many years ago he became the leader of national improvisation scene. After the yass period he recorded a few concentrated and quiet albums with the section of Oleś brothers. He also accompanied poets – Świetlicki and Andrukhovych, he created muical – literary projects with Andrzej Stasiuk.Today he is the leader of international trio Volumen and the member of among others Resonance of Ken Vandermark, Magic – Joe McPhee or Shofar trio with Raphael Rogiński and Macio Moretti – playing Jewish music. But above all he realizes himself in the radical contemporary free jazz. He travels around the world cooperating with personalities of world improvisation among others with Peter Brötzmann, Joe McPhee, Ken Vandermak, Peter Friis Nielsen, Clementine Gasser, Pete Ole Jorgensen, Michael Zerang, Franz Houtzinger, Jay Rosen, Domik Duval, Mark Sanders. He has recorded around thirty albums.Discography:Miłość - Miłość 1992 with Leszek Możdżer, Tymon Tymański, Jacek Olter )Taniec Smoka - Miłość 1994 with Maciej Sikała, Leszek Możdżer, Tymon Tymański, Jacek OlterKoncert w Mózgu - Łoskot 1994 with Olo Walicki, Jacek Majewski, Szymon Roriński Jacek OlterNot Two Miłość and Lester Bowie 1995 with Maciej Sikała, Leszek Możdżer, Tymon Tymański, Jacek OlterCześć, Cześć, Cześć - Mikołaj Trzaska 1995Asthmatic - Miłość 1995Sport i Religia - NRD 1998Amariuch - Łoskot 1998 with: Olo Walicki, Piotr Pawlak, Tomasz GwincińskiTalkin’ About Life And Death - Miłość and Lester Bowie 2000Cierpienie i Wypoczynek - Duo Trzaska Świetlicki 2000;Śmierdzące Kwiatuszki - Łoskot 2000Baldes Trzaska and Cezary Ostrowski 2001Pieszo -Teather and Movies works by Trzaska 2001Mikro Musik - Oleś/Trzaska/Oleś with Marcin and Bartłomiej Brat Oleś 2002La Sketch Up - Oleś/Trzaska/Oleś with Marcin and Bartłomiej Brat Oleś 2003;Dni Krytyczne - Mikolaj Trzaska 2003 – line up )Danziger Straßenmusik - Mikołaj Trzaska with Marcin and Bartłomiej Oleś 2004Unforgiven North with Peter Friis Nielsen and Peeter Uskyla 2004Andruchoid with Jurij Andruchowych, Wojciech Mazolewski, Macio Moretti 2005Sun - Łoskot with: Olo Walicki, Piotr Pawlak, Tomasz Gwinciński 2005Noc - Trzaska & Wirkus with Paul Wirkus2005Suite For Trio + 4 with Oleś Barthers and Jean Lukiem-Cappozzo 2005Malamute - North Quartet with Peter Brötzmannm, Mikolaj Trzaksa, Peter Friis Nielsen and Peeter Uuskylą 2005Orangeada - Trzaska, Peter Friis Nielsen and Peeter Uuskylą 2006Kantry - Stasiuk by Trzaska with Jarogniew Milewski, Johannes Frisch, Abbas Zulfugarof, Olo Walicki, Paul Wirkus, Tomasz Gwinciński, Jarek Czarnecki 2007Volume - Aeter z Friisem Nielsenem i Peterem Ole Jorgensenem2007Shofar - Shofar with Raphael Rogiński and Macio Moretti 2007Intimate Conversations Joe McPhee, Mikołaj Trzaska and Jay Rosen 2007Resonance - Ken Vandermark with Dave Rempis, Tim Daisy, Michael Zerang, Steve Swel, Magnus Bro, Yourij Yaremchuk, Mark Tokar, Per Ake Holmlander 2008Nadir & Machora with Clementine Gasser and Michael Zerang 2009Resonance - Ken Vandremark 10 CD’s box, 2009 with Dave Rempis, Tim Daisy, Michael Zerang, Steve Swel, Magnus Bro, Yourij Yaremchuk, Mark Tokar, Per Ake Holmlander.Goosetalks - Peter Brotzmann, Mikołaj Trzaska and Johannes Bauer 2010Dom Zły - Soundtrack - Mikołąj Trzaska Soundtrack, with Clementine Gasser, Clayton Thomas, Michael Zerang, Szwelas 2010Magic - Joe McPhee, Mikolaj Trzaska, Dominic Duval, Jay Rosen 2010Larks Upraising as IRCHA - Mikołaj Trzaska Clarinet Quintet fit.
