Annecy 2015 Announce Special Prizes
The Annecy International Animated Film Festival has tonight awarded its Special Prizes. The festival hosts two award ceremonies, the first to give away special prizes and the second to deliver even more prizes that are just as special. Amongst the first batch of winners we have one British film Edmond from the NFTS and a production by british born directors Tom Brown and Daniel Gray’s Teeth scooping the CANAL+ Creative Aid and Fipresci Award respectively.
It’s nice to see that british animators and films made in the UK can show the world that they have a little bite in them.
