Prize of the Dagmar and Vaclav Havel foundation "VISION 97": Daria Klimentova, "Around the World en Pointe"
Reasons:
Martin Kubala’s documentary film captures the world of this outstanding European dancer with deep human understanding but without preconceived stereotypes. He does not demonize the drudgery of the ballet profession, nor does he fall for other similar cliches. The basic theme is the swift passage of time, and Daria Klimentova escapes from it by taking a rational approach to managing family and work relations and to expanding her professional activities. The documentary has an unobtrusive but profound mission which avoids preaching and formulating but instead offers an example of a life lived to the full. And all this against the background of the highly stylized world of classical ballet.

Czech Television Prize: "Liverpool Nativity"
BBC Classical Music Television, Velka Britanie/United Kingdom Coproducers
Reasons:
Television Programme Liverpool Nativity does a fabulous job of linking the long tradition of popular music in Liverpool with one of the most wonderful stories of all times, one that has just as much relevance today as it did 2000 years ago. The creators succeeded in producing a sensitive but unsentimentalized update making marvellous use of current television techniques.

Czech Crystal- Category 2: Documentary programs dedicated to music and dance:
"The Maestro Maker – Jorma Panula and his Finnish Conducting School"
Reasons:
With a fresh narrative and sense of humour, this documentary offers an insight into the work of the unique teacher Jorma Panula who has spawned an entire generation of young Finnish conductors and whose goal is to encourage students to develop individuality rather than creating clones of himself. The skillful editing greatly contributed to what the jury felt was a natural, free-flowing and very enjoyable film.

Czech Crystal- Category 2: Documentary programmes dedicated to music and dance:
Herbert von Karajan – "Maestro for the Screen"
Bernhard Fleischer Moving Images GmbH, Rakousko/Austria Coproducers: Rundfunk Berlin- Brandenburg, ARTE, Bayerischer Rundfunk
Reasons:
The makers of the documentary about the relation of conductor Herbert von Karajan to the film and television have managed to express the principal themes and issues regarding the relationship between classical music and television. At the same time the film provides valuable historical and nostalgic insight into the era when money was not the decisive limit for shooting the outstanding performers of their time.
