Congratulations also to runners up in second and third place:

Silver FAFFTA: Paul B Johnson (UK) - TV of Tomorrow...Today (2011)

The piece explores the formal mechanisms of our assimilation of the television media, particularly reality television. The focus remains on such mechanisms as editing, framing and graphics by removing the characters' faces, reducing them to puppets. This reductive approach gives the piece its childlike quality. The womb soundscape reinforces the concept of television as a pacifier for society.

Bronze FAFFTA: Gerard Freixes Ribera (ES) - The Homogenics (2010)

The same people living in the same houses. Uniformisation turns everything into stereotypes. The Homogenics family sitcom is an extreme example.
