The 22nd Anifilm International Film Festival in Liberec was a great success, with Signe Baumane’s My Love Affair with Marriage taking home the main prize for adult feature film. The film was seven years in the making and was supported by nearly 1,700 individual donors, as well as cultural and grant institutions. It was first screened in New York last year.
The prize for best feature film for children went to Jean-Christopher Roger and Julien Chheng’s Mouse and Bear on the Road. The film follows the adventures of two unlikely friends, a mouse and a bear, as they travel together in search of a new home.
The Anifilm International Film Festival is a great platform for independent filmmakers to showcase their work and be recognized for their efforts. Congratulations to Signe Baumane and Jean-Christopher Roger and Julien Chheng for their well-deserved wins!
