2012 Winners & Shortlists

Brief Explanation

A short movie that takes us through the main areas of the hotel in a very intriguing and engaging way, as the camera follows a mysterious photographer from the moment he arrives at the hotel by day till he leaves it by night. As we follow him through the hotel, we are intrigued by how he stops every now and then and takes beautiful shots of the hotel spaces, details and textures. It seems he's looking for something mysterious. What adds to the intrigue is also how he frames and shoots people: sometimes they are the heroes of the scene, sometimes they act only as accessories. Throughout the whole film, we never get to see the full face of this mysterious photographer who moves through the hotel at different speeds: sometimes he's quick. Sometimes he's slow. Other times he's motionless. By the end of the film, we would have seen and been impressed by the hotel.
