news Holly Hunter wins Yarns 2023 with comedy short Banana Boat

Stitch and Homespun's annual short film competition Yarns climaxed last night in London with the premiere screening of the four finalists' films, and the crowning of the winner of Yarns 2023 - Holly Hunter, for the entertaining comedy Banana Boat.Hosted by film critic and broadcaster James King, the four finalists' films were screened to a packed-out crowd at Prince Charles Cinema in London's West End. The audience later moved to the nearby Phoenix Arts Club for the after party, where after a public vote by the audience, Hunter was crowned the winner.Banana Boat is a screwball comedy which tells the story of a stand-off over the final 'banana boat' ride of the summer, in a holiday resort. The film sees two sets of mothers and sons square up to each other in a bid to secure the last tickets, putting a new twist on a classic source of comedy, the British class system.The other finalists and their films for this year were: Travelling Home, a documentary directed by Juliet Klottrup; Mr Biscuit, a comedy directed by Doug Redfern and Joe Roberts; and Do You Have Kids? an impressionistic drama-cum-dance piece, directed by Tom Gentle and Sam Brain.For this year's Yarns competition, titled The Ends, each finalist were given resources from Stitch and Homespun and other Yarns sponsors to make their films, having written screenplays inspired by the endings of one of three poem by spoken-word artist Miss Yankey. The screening of the films at the Prince Charles was preceded by a marvellous performance by Miss Yankey of two of the poems and a third, specially written for the evening.Each finalist was also mentored by an established figure in advertising and music video production world - Stink Films' Keith McCarthy mentored Holly Hunter throughout the process - and their films were edited by an editor on the Homespun emerging talent roster. Laura Zvarikova worked on the winning film Banana Boat, while Laura Reyes edited Mr. Biscuit, Chris Hutchings cut Do You Have Kids? and Luke Anderson edited Travelling Home.An entirely not-for-profit initiative, Yarns consistently identifies the next wave of directing talent and provides finalists with a unique platform to turn their idea into a fully formed short film with the support of the industry’s foremost talent.Yarns also sees the finalists’ partner with some of the industry’s foremost talent to create their film. Those involved in creating the films this year, through their time, expertise and sponsorship are Kodak, Slingshot Intergalactic, Sine, Freefolk, nineteentwenty and Absolute Post.Holly Hunter comments: “I am incredibly grateful for the whole experience, the talented team I got to work with, the support from Yarns and the honour to make a film about morals and Banana Boats! It was so much fun to create and that’s what it’s all about!”Meanwhile Tim Hardy, co-owner at Stitch Editing, says he is delighted with how all the films turned out at Yarns 2023.“We wanted this Yarns final to be our best yet, and it surpassed our expectations," says Hardy. "We were blown away at the turnout, which made for a brilliant atmosphere throughout. The directors produced one of our strongest collections to date, with some truly amazing shorts, any one of which could’ve taken home the prize. Holly is such a worthy winner, and we can’t wait to see what she goes on to achieve off the back of this.”• Watch Banana Boat, and other Yarns 2023 finalist films here and here

news Videoclip Italia Awards 2023 - Giada Bossi wins Best Director and Best Italian Music Video

The second Videoclip Italia Awards was held in Rome on Sunday (June 11th), where Giada Bossi was the leading award-winner on the night with four awards, including the Best Director prize, and the Best Italian Music Video award, for her video for Quattro Pareti by Arssalendo (above, centre, with fellow award-winners). Photo credit: Fabrizio Martelli.Other big winners included Tommaso Ottomano's video for Maneskin's The Loneliest, which won two awards out of the five categories in which it received nominations, namely Best Rock Music Video and Best Cinematography. Two videos by Italian pop star Irama won prizes: Ovunque Sarai directed by Enea Colombi won Best Pop Music Video, while Ali directed by Broga's received the Best VFX award.The video for Piedmont band Tamango's song Sirene e Pirati, co- directed by the band with Simone Coppola, Luca Giraudo, Filippo Scimone, earned the Best Color Grading and Student Jury award. The Best International Music Video category was won by Argentinian directors Hernan Corera and Juan Piczman for their remarkable promo Nadie for Sin Bandera."We are extremely satisfied with this second edition [of the Videoclip Italia Awards]," says co-director Nicola Marceddu. "It was a wonderful evening and we think we succeeded in giving voice and space to a generation of young talents and an entire sector that is too often not considered."The numbers and enthusiasm recorded on this evening confirm the growing interest in our event, perhaps the only one to catalyze so many central figures in Italian music video industry. We are happy to see awarded artists such as Giada Bossi, who is also collecting laurels abroad, but also outsiders of absolute value such as LESYEU or the work of Piedmontese Tamango."Fellow awards director Alessio Rosa adds: "This second edition marks an important moment of growth for us. In small steps we are heading toward that event we imagined at the beginning. It has been wonderful to find along the way the support of international festivals and partners, as well as to record the support of entities such as ARRI, Canon, Trans Audio Video, Promonews and MTV. We think this is the clearest testimony to the good work we are doing, and the response from fans and industry insiders this evening pushes us with even more enthusiasm to think big for the third edition. See you next year!"• Discover all the winners at Videoclip Italia Awards 2023 winners here

news Residente's 'This Is Not America' wins Special Jury prize at SXSW 2023

The video for Residente's This Is Not America (ft Ibeyi), directed by Gregory Ohrel, was awarded the Special Jury prize at the 30th South By South West Film and TV on Tuesday (March 14th).The hugely powerful video, produced by Doomsday Entertainment, reenacts moments in Latin American history through a series of uncompromising vignettes, visualising the veteran Puerto Rican rapper's cry of resistance against oppression and corruption in South and Central America. On This Is Not America, the SXSW jury commented: “Our Special Jury winner is a striking, visceral and timely representation of the struggles people face in Latin America today. It’s a piece worthy of attention from US audiences, as well as Latin. We also felt it incorporates some of the most symbolically rich – and creative – shots we’ve seen recently in music videos.”The Special Jury prize was one of two Jury prizes handed out to music videos in the awards ceremony - both of which explored political themes. The Grand Jury winner in the Music Video category was Amanda Sum's Different Than Before, written and directed by Mayumi Yoshida.SXSW said of the Amanda Sum video: “We were particularly moved by this story of an Asian father’s journey to action when faced with racist hecklers in front of his family. The video creates a brilliant stop Asian hate narrative that accomplishes the near impossible feat of evoking not just tears, but laughter – all in just a few minutes. It’s a rare music video imbued with the power to make viewers smile and weep while learning about racism in America.”This year's South By South West Film & TV Festival began the day after Everything Everywhere All At Once's stunning sweep of the 2023 Academy Awards, winning seven Oscars, including Best Picture. The movie, directed by The Daniels (Dan Kwan and Dan Scheinert), was premiered at South By South West last year - a landmark that was celebrated by Claudette Godfrey, VP, Film & TV."Our hearts are bursting with joy for DANIELS who first brought their work to SXSW 11 years ago and won our Music Video Competition," said Godfrey. "It’s indescribable that we were also able to celebrate last year’s Opening Night Film Everything Everywhere All at Once and their seven Academy Awards. We know that another SXSW filmmaker in the Paramount Theater tonight will go on to fulfill their own creative dreams and achieve success beyond what they can imagine now!”• 30th SXSW Film & TV Festival - all the winners here
