The vimeo film festival and awards has its winners. Vimeo turned into “the” host for creative and artistic videos on the web, so the awards + festival work as a “celebration of the best original and creative video that has premiered online”. The goal was to “reward the individual creators behind online video and acknowledge the internet as a quality medium of expression and distribution”. It was about time this happened.. the goal was similar to Youtube Play i posted some time ago, that was supposed to raise awareness on this topic. Vimeo did a great job.

Here is my selection:

- Winner Best Video

Last Minutes with ODEN from phos pictures on Vimeo.

- Winner Experimental

oops from Chris Beckman on Vimeo.

- Winner Music Video

Lakai ist back and on fire.  The video for “Lakai Skate and Create 2010″ is all about the asthetics of skateboarding with some dark and fireish atmosphere. The sound track is great and the credits speak for themselves. I get nostalgic when i watch this, thinking of my times as a skateboarder.. Good days!

An amazing music video for the track Ritalin by Dancing Pigeons. I haven´t seen such strong and well selected imagery for a music video in a long time. Maybe the clip for Fever Ray ‘When I Grow Up’ had a similar effect on me. Great work directed by Tomas Mankovsky.
