Chloé Van beveren (deAuteurs), Ran Ceulemans (De Cinema) and Karin Vandenrydt (Anima Festival) have taken the time to watch all animations of this year’s festival and carefully selected three winners, each one an amazing piece of both film making and illustration:
  • La Bride, Nicolas Piret (België): In his graduation film, Nicolas Piret creates an extraordinarily unique concept where he draws over each preceding frame, taking us on an intriguing journey of a dog’s quest for freedom. Each of these frames could be taken straight out of the film and be a part of an expo right here.
  • Flower Show, Elli Vuorinen (Finland): In Flower Show, the social codes of the aristocracy are questioned through a female gaze in this beautifully animated film. Subtle colors and flowing movement create a true delight to the eye.
  • Storm, Gijs Kast (Nederland): Gijs Kast uses the medium of animation to its fullest capacity, which gives another layer of depth to a seemingly simple concept and captures the struggle of the internal storm perfectly.
