- ‘Dog Alone’ fetched the International Prize, proving that the race isn’t just for the greyhounds anymore!
- ‘How’ reeled in the Balkan Film award, ushering a new wave of intrigue about just ‘how’ it managed that.
- The grand finale caught the attention of none other than Kosovo’s Prime Minister. Talk about an animate audience!
Hot Take:
In this edition of “Artists Have way More fun than Normal People”, the Anibar International Animation Festival wrapped up, leaving attendee jaws on the floor, and not due to any gravity-defying animation trick. It’s just the sheer brilliance of the creative output. ‘Dog Alone’s triumphant fetch of the International Prize certainly leaves one wagging their proverbial tail; I mean who doesn’t love an underdog story! And ‘How’, in scooping up the Balkan Film award, shows us that how indeed is a question that leads to many unexpected paths, in this case, straight to the award podium. And if all this animation hoopla has got the Kosovo Prime Minister turning up, you’ve gotta know it’s not just animated dust in the wind, folks. Buckle up, because animation just roared into the fast lane, and it’s not hitting any sketchy brakes.
