The Flounder, Elizabeth Hobbs

LIAF awards

Amazing news – the top prizes at this year’s London International Animation Festival (LIAF) 2019 were awarded to two films that I produced this year. The Flounder by Elizabeth Hobbs was awarded Best of the Fest and Best Sound Design for its composition by Carola Bauckholt. Bloomers by Samantha Moore received Best British Film.

The films screened both in the competition programme and in a special screening of the Happiness Machine project that was followed with a Q&A with both artists and Austrian animators Susi Jirkuff and Eni Brandner that I got to chair.

I also had the delight of curating the opening night programme of Female Figures sci-fi inspired shorts and of participating in the Music Video Jury with animation whizzes Chris Shepherd and Shaun Clark.
