Congrats, Paw! With the prize comes 10.000 DKK and of course a big amount of glory!<br />
<br />
The animation jury motivated the Talent Award with these words:<br />
<br />
<i>Despite the traditional style, this director succeeds in creating a personal and very innovative short, not least because of the unconventional choice of theme.The jury was led into a credible, strong and organic world, where both images and sound supported the beauty and danger and of the tale - a grim tale - that still leaves us with faith in humanity.The film shows the director's obvious talent to communicate, not only with animation, but also with the film language as such.</i><br />
<br />
Jury: Michal Hegner (DK), Helena Frank (SE), Esben Jacobsen (DK)<br />

It will be shown at three festivals in North America and Denmark... all of them really great.<br />
<br />
First it plays at the <a href="http://www.fantasiafestival.com/pre2011/en/">Fantasia International Film Festival</a> in Quebec, Canada, in July. Fantasia's emphasis is on genre films from all over the world and is the biggest and most important event of its kind in North America with 100.000 spectators, so we are really thrilled.<br />
<br />
In August we return to Denmark and to <a href="http://filmfestival.dk/">Odense Film Festival</a> - Denmark's most important short film festival.<br />
<br />
And finally in September <i>Two Friends</i> will play at <a href="http://www.fantasticfest.com/">Fantastic Fest</a> i Austin, Texas, USA. This is the largest genre festival in the US and specializes in horror, fantasy, sci-fi, action and "just plain fantastic movies from all around the world", as they claim. In years past they have presented the world premieres of THERE WILL BE BLOOD, APOCALYPTO & ZOMBIELAND. And now it's time for <i>Two Friends</i> - yeah!</div>To Venner / Two Friendshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03192569815414900646noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7955514827157318575.post-53323165791600734152011-02-08T16:18:00.000+01:002011-02-08T16:18:49.190+01:00And the winner is...<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">... <i>Two Friends</i>!<br />
