Špela Čadež’s Nighthawk flies back from Krakow with a Silver Jabberwocky, an award granted by a true power-jury: Georges Schwizgebel, Andreas Hykade, Andrzej Klimowski, Anita Killi and Nancy Denney-Phelps. We like their explanation very much: “This is like a different kind of road movie. The film is well animated and uses a complex multi plan technique. This film deals with an important topic that is often difficult to talk about in an original way.” The 2016 awards from the International Film Festival Etiuda & Anima (November 22 – 27) are listed here, and we will add that the Golden Jabberwocky went to Igor Kovalyov’s Before Love. Also, if you were wondering, Jabberwocky is a name of the nonsense poem by Lewis Caroll from Through the Looking-Glass.

Nighthawk won three awards in the past month: at DOK Leipzig, Animated Dreams and Etiuda & Anima.
