Ella Raidel – Outstanding Artist Award in the category of feature and documentary film.
Ella Raidel is the recipient of the Austrian Ministry for Culture’s (BMKÖS) 2022, Outstanding Artist Award in the Category of Feature and Documentary film.
“Raidel is an artist who consistently and continuously works at the interface between performative art, documentary film, and fiction. Her protagonists are rigorously woven into composed images. They wander between tradition, modernity, and the future, through grown cities and replicas, through condemned buildings and postmodern experience culture. (…) Individual narratives, commentaries, and historical references merge ontologically with the architecture to form a mental image. In the process, a new, open cinema emerges. A cinema that reflects on the conventions of filmmaking across genres and disciplines.” (Jury Statement)
