Radiomix Prize 

Title: "Par quelque endroit que ce soit" 

Author: Maxime Guitton, music critic, Sébastien Roux, musician, involved in the Research and Development Department at IRCAM.
An evocation of the futurist artists Marinetti and Russolo, author of "The Art of Noises", using three sound archives from the 1930s.
The jury selected this radiomix for its well-defined selection and use of archive materials, resulting in a coherent and touching evocation.

Phonurgia Nova Prize

Title: "Voyage au cœur des groupes Medvedkine"

Author: Frédérique Pressmann, producer, translator, documentarist.
Produced by Arteradio.com. 

Testimonies by the workers who formed the cinema groups, created in the Peugeot factories after May 1968. The "Medvekine Group" took its name from the Russian film-maker Alexander Medvekine who traversed the USSR, bearing witness to the workers' struggle.

The jury judged this documentary to be a rare example in the competition of a harmonious balance between sound and meaning. The atmosphere evoked by the radiomix is an excellent rendition of the 1970's Peugeot.
