FATHER – the animated documentary short which I produced while at Compote Collective has been having a great festival life. The latest news is that it got awarded with the Golden Dove in the International Competition for Animated Films and Videos of the DOK Leipzig International Film Fest 2012.
According to the jury consisting of Mariola Brillowska (Germany), Sylvie Bringas (Great Britain) and Zbigniew Żmudzki (Poland) the film “makes sensitive use of documentary material, and very effectively weaves different styles of animation together to represent different experiences of fatherly abandonment and betrayal. This collaboration has produced a fresh approach to making documentary animation, and has broadened the potential for this developing form.”
