Awards

Jury description:

“The winner in the ‘TV Series and Specials’ category presented a clear format that had lots of humor and energy. The creators showed great knowledge of its target group, and they had developed a visual concept that the jury found playful, clever, and original. The jury was especially impressed with how the format tied together the old, mythological world with today’s modern society, and how seemingly irrelevant fairy-tale creatures can tell an important story to the kids today. The winner in the ‘TV Series and Specials’ category is ‘No Happily Ever After’ from Helium Film, Czech Republic.”

“As well as the winner, the jury is convinced of the project that delivers brief charming and funny day-by-day adventures of a young woman and her dog. Once combined with a strong digital concept, the stories have great potential and unfold their charm and magic. The jury therefore especially wants to emphasize and honor ‘Betti and Lola’ from Adriatic Animation, Croatia, with a special mention.”

Jury description:

“The winning project’s pitch accurately set the mood and the tone of the film, revealed the persona of the director and the main character, as well as the motivation and dedication of the production team in the wings. The film-maker made it easy to relate to the themes tackled in this story, and left us waiting for a luscious graphic spectacle in… the ‘Garden of the Heart’.”

Emotions can be overwhelming, so to put them on a leash and learn to tame them seems like a good idea.
Combined with very appealing character design, it certainly makes a charming concept for a film targeting children but also relevant to all of us.
The jury wants to give an honorable mention to first time director Laura Martinović and her project “The pet named Stress”.
