Insight into the jury’s decisions
Jury member Barbara Davidson reflected on the second-prize Short Feature winner, ‘Fighting Ebola Outbreak Street by Street’: “Ebola was a huge story. It was a big epidemic and for this filmmaker to make it smaller, for us to empathize with it, was very effective. That’s our role as journalists, to not only educate, but to call upon us to empathize with what we’re seeing and to hopefully bring about some change or awareness.”
Marianne Lévy-Leblond, jury chair, said about the winner Interactive Documentary: “This production stands out because you get moved by it and it is made with tools you can only find on the net. ‘Scrolly-telling’ pieces have been very present the last couple of years. This winner is trying to find its own devices to tell its story.”
You can also find downloadable and embeddable video interviews with jury members for each of the winning productions on the World Press Photo Vimeo account and here: www.worldpressphoto.org/2015-multimedia-contest. These interviews will provide insight into the jury’s decisions with clips from the winning productions.The entries, the judging and the jury
The judging was conducted at the World Press Photo office in Amsterdam, where the jury viewed all the entries and discussed their merits. This year, 352 productions were submitted to the contest: 221 Short Features, 73 Long Features, and 58 Interactive Documentaries.
