Awards

Tied for third place with Lievito madre (2014).

This was an incredibly strong field with creatively exciting elements present in almost all of the titles that we watched. The film we have finally chosen for the award of Creative Innovation in a Short Film sparkles with originality both in its key ideas and the freshness of technique through which it approaches its poignant subject. This carer's story dramatising child-parent relationships and the frailty of ageing is handled with humour and a quirky lightness of touch which undercuts the sadness and darkness. Creatively innovative in its storytelling as well as in its daring animation techniques.

For the inventive and innovative intersection of seemingly painted two-dimensional animation with three-dimensional elements and sets combined with an elegant mid-century modern esthetic and poignant, personal content. Especially, it is important to add, it is a student film, what symbolically expressive view on animation art of all this festival.
