ANOTHER CANADIAN AWARD FOR "HIPPOS"
Last weekend, the latest film by Piotr Dumała, produced by Fumi Studio from Warsaw received yet another award. This time, "Hippos" were appreciated by the jury of Canadian festival Regard sur le Court.
This year, the nineteenth edition of the Regard sur le Court festival was held. The festival is one of most important Canadian festivals dedicated to presenting short films. In the programme of this year's edition there were, among others, the special screening of films from New Zealand and Brazil and the screening of short genre films. The only Polish film in the competition was "Hippos" by Dumała. The film received the Best Animated Film award as well as the software Toon Boom, of the value amounting to 3 600 USD.
It is the third Canadian award for the latest film by Dumała. Last September, the film was given the Best Independent Short award at the festival in Ottawa, and in November - the Grand Prix of Les Sommets du cinema d'animation in Montreal.
It is worth mentioning that Barbara Orlicz-Szczypuła from the programme office of Krakow Film Festival was the guest of this year's edition of the festival. The festival Regard sur le Court includes not only film screenings, but also a rich programme of lectures and meetings for short film professionals.
The festival was held from 11 to 15 March in Quebec.
