ATTACK OF THE GIANT BRAIN SUCKER MONSTER FROM OUTER SPACE/ L'ATTAQUE DU MONSTRE GEANT SUCEUR DE CERVAUX DE L'ESPACE
France; 2010
Directed by: Guillaume Rieu
Genre: sci-fi/horror/musical

For the inventive hommage to the genre movies, done in a fresh, humorous and energetic way!

NOISY CATS

Jury consisting of Igor Vidmar, Igor Bašin and Jure Longyka has decided that the Noisy Cat (award for best music documentary) goes to

6FT HICK: NOTES FROM UNDERGROUND
Australia; 2010
Directed by: Marty Moynihan

European tour of 6ft Hick, an obscure Australian band from remote Queensland, is the narrative skeleton upon which lies the very warm and lively flesh of this documentary. This beautifully shot, edited and directed film shows the tearing of the wall beetween the audience and the stage and the extremely direct, almost aggressive challenging of the crowd to go beyond the rock'n'roll ritual and make it their own. When the gig is over, these passionate, dedicated, bestially tenacious and heartfuly honest put the stage, backstage and beds in order and clean up the toilet. Captured scenes are challenging the standard rock documentary form, since they don't perpetuate the myth of a rocker. This is no reality show. It is the real thing. A powerful document of the universal nature of rock'n'roll underground. And - of course – a very noisy one.

VICIOUS CAT WINE CHAMPION

Our distinguished guests have decided that the Vicious Cat Wine Champion Award (award for the best wine of the festival) goes to

KZ METLIKA
Chardonay Kolednik selection, year 2009

THE CHRONICLES OF SCHUPAKFACE
Slovenia; 2011
Directed by: Gašper Antauer
Genre: horror

Other two films made at the workshop were Don't Axe Yourself by Antonio Vonde and The Border Crossing by Vasja Rovšnik.
