From the Judges, on Diamonds (2021)

From the Judges, on Diamonds

A celebration of people scattered across the world finding each other through dance and music, this piece moves between empty countryside and striking modern architecture with sharp camera work and a real eye for landscape. The panel responded to the editing, which plays with transitions in a way that suits the energy of the track and carries a genuine warmth. Even with quick snapshots of many scenes, they found the pacing easy to follow, and it struck them as a joyful, generous piece of work.

Curated, anonymised highlights drawn from the judges' notes.
