"Is work a form of prostitution?" by Gian Elio Ezael de marco
"Best Short Film"
Since every individual carries out any job to earn money, he practices prostitution to all intents and purposes. Selling your sex organ is no different than selling any other part of your body, like your voice, brain, muscles, and more, just to get money.

In this video, the testimony of a sex worker helps to expose the reality of the facts in an extremely simple and clear way. The author of the video is interviewed to explain the reasons why prostitution should be understood more respectfully and without any discrimination.

"Heartbeat" by Kim Spierenburg
"Best Animation"
Heartbeat (Vienna Shorts 2023 Official Selection) is an ode to (new) life. Inspired by the sound of the violin that revives me. Heartbeat is about moving on and how making music is precious and should be cherished. As a disabled artist I have firsthand knowledge of the fragility of life. As a female artist, I intuitively express the themes of womanhood, the experience of womanhood, birth and the creation of life in this film. I value making music and elevating life from the grey nothingness and pain. My creative process has always been driven by colors, forms and images. Inspired by my classical roots with Heartbeat I feel that I’ve managed to consolidate and interlace the audiovisual aspects of my work for the first time. This animated 2d film was created using mixed digital methods. I feel my narratives have finally merged into a complete story.
