Congratulations to the Flow team on receiving the European Animation Award from the European Film Academy
Gints Zilbalodis film "Flow" has been named European Animation Film of the Year at the European Film Academy Awards! We are proud and sincerely congratulate director Gints Zilbalodis, our colleague director and producer Matīss Kaža and the team of "Flow" with the significant achievements!
Stunning and magical - these are the words we read and hear about the "Flow": “And in its simple, generous spirit of giving these creatures palpable narrative power, there’s a profundity: “Flow” might only be imagining their coping skills without us, but it’s a charming, poignant vision of community and perseverance we could stand to be inspired by.” (https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/movies/story/2024-11-22/flow-review-animation-gints-zilbalodis-latvia)
This is the first time that a Latvian film has won the Best Animated Film award, but not the first time that a Latvian film has won the prize - in 1990, Ivars Seleckis won the award in the documentary category for his film "Cross Street".
