would hand out awards at an energetic, paper airplane-filled gala, making it one of the most important dates on the global animation calendar.
Some competition films screened on the festival’s digital platform this year, but the “Calamity” team decided to hold off on its full premiere until a time when can be held in a brick-and-mortar theater. Instead, Maybe Movies and Paris-based sales agent Indie Sales opted to share an introduction to the film delivered by Chayé and a 17-minute behind-the-scenes presentation featuring previously unseen clips from the now-finished film.
The only title directed by a woman from either of the festival’s main feature sections, “My Favorite War” ruminates on a childhood spent in the Soviet Union and how truth can be hard to come by amidst a flood of authoritarian propaganda. Robin Shaw’s “The Tiger Who Came to Tea,” produced by Lupus Films in the U.K. for NBC Universal, received a Jury Award for a TV Special, while Amazon Prime Video’s “Undone” was picked by the jury as the best TV Series in competition.
This year’s Cristal for a commissioned film was awarded to Daniel Almagor and Raman Djafari’s colorful music video for “Traveler” from NYC-based brass band Lucky Chops.
