Reviews
“The jury of the Ministry of Family, Children, Youth, Culture and Sport awards a short film: 'Slot Machine' by Wu Chang-Jung combines rhythmic precision with media flair and originality in three minutes. He combines big issues such as mass production, which is fixated on profit maximization, with an absolutely tender and sensual view of the elementary. "
“We give our Honorable Mention to a film that deals with an important and global topic. Artistically and extremely creatively, the film deals with mass consumption and capitalism. The idea of staging a pig breeding factory as a gaming machine impressed us very much and made us think. Animals are not viewed as living beings, but converted into monetary value immediately after their birth. Because 'Slot Machine' is so reflective and critical of this topic and we were absolutely convinced of the interplay of image and sound, we would like to praise it. "
