Passion Pictures wins big at Ciclope Festival
Passion Pictures has taken out gold and bronze awards, and Animation Company of the Year at the 2018 Ciclope Awards, held this week in Berlin.
Dedicated to celebrating the craft of execution, Ciclope Festival this year also awarded work from Spike Jonze and Hiro Murai (of Atlanta and ‘This is America’ fame).
Says Katie Mackin, MD, Passion Pictures Australia: “It’s extremely gratifying to see ‘Joy Story: Joy & Heron’ being recognised (with gold) on the global stage, particularly amongst such esteemed individuals, and up against some really impressive films.”
Two Passion directors collected bronze; Reuben McNaughton, for his ‘Together Again’ spot for Dementia UK, and Salon Alpin for the Iceland Foods ‘There’s a Rang-Tan in my Bedroom’ spot, which has exploded online after being deemed ‘too political’ and banned in the UK.
Adds Mackin: “It’s a pleasing testament to the power of the story and the importance of its message.”
