From Kinshasa to Ísafjarðarbíó

And this week we're off to Kinshasa in the Democratic Republic of Congo for the Festival International de Cinéma. This means that the only continent missing is Oceania.

We were invited to speak at the wonderful SaqAnima conference in Tbilisi. Small but powerful, this year's conference was mainly dedicated to the topic of stop motion. Thanks to  Mariam Kandelaki and her small but energetic team! SaqAnima is the relatively young Georgian Animation Film Association, which does a lot to ensure that Georgian animated film, but also the services of the local studios are better perceived in Europe and around the world.

“A Second of the World” – Now in English

The "Second" is now also available in an English language version. As with the German version, Torben Liebrecht, who is internationally known for his appearances in "Altered Carbon" and "Operation Finale", lent his great voice to the film.

“The House” wins in Annecy

Great news from the world's most important animated film festival in Annecy, France: "The House", for which Angela Poschet was responsible as line producer, wins the jury prize for the best TV special.

Award for the “Second”

The German Filmbewertungsstelle awarded our short EINE SEKUNDE DER WELT with the highest grade "besonders wertvoll". Awesome. Here is the press text with the short form of the reason: "A second is not a long time. And yet so much can happen in it. A life can change forever, a love can begin, a person break, a thought illuminate. The writer Siegfried Lenz has this fascination with the smallest unit of time in his short story "One second of the world" captured.

On Tour with “The House”

Angela is on tour with "The House". See her, together with the directors and production manager Jost Zoetebier on the "Behind the Scenes" panels of FMX and ITFS in Stuttgart (May 04) and during the Annecy Animation Film Festival in June.
