Works from the Eisner Awards Competition

The Eisner Prize is the highest award for creativity given on the UC Berkeley campus. This year's winners in film and video are Ian Cheng for the experimental MoMA Audio Adventure Club (4 mins), a tour of art found in urban spaces, and Eric Martin for the narrative Unknown (19.5 mins), which cleverly blurs lived and acted realities. This year's judges were UC staff and faculty Marilyn Fabe, Kathy Geritz, Irina Leimbacher, Mira Kopell, and Jeffrey Skoller.

The judges have selected a diverse sampling of narrative, documentary, and experimental videos from the competition to be screened in addition to the prizewinning works: Dawns Underground (Jerome Clement-Wilz, 6.5 mins, Color/B&W); PIRATED! (Nguyen Tan Hoang, 2000, 11 mins, Color/B&W); Breath Play (Jason Karpman, 11 mins); Bewegung (Beatrice Sasha Kobow, Andrew Moisey, 10 mins); Performance in Passing (Catherine Bilski, Jose De Leon, Aiste Siauryte, 15.5 mins); Budiz (Amen) (Ben Hadden, 6 mins); All Things/Pray (M. Hasna Maznavi, Katie Edmonds, 7 mins, Silent).

A program containing written descriptions by the artists will complement the screening.
