OTTAWA (1 October 2021) – The Ottawa International Animation Festival (OIAF), the largest festival of its kind in North America, announces the winners at its 45th anniversary edition.

OIAF ’21’s Grand Prize for Feature Animation was awarded to Bob Spit – We Do Not Like People (Cesar Cabral). This film brought viewers into the head of cartoonist Angeli and into the post-apocalyptic world of Bob Spit.
Decided by festival attendees, the Public Prize was awarded to Night Bus (Joe Hsieh). This animated short took this year’s OIAF audience on a wild ride of intrigue and vengeance.
Canadian stop-motion animation, The Shaman’s Apprentice (Zacharias Kunuk), was also a big winner, taking home the Canadian Film Institute (CFI) Award for Best Canadian Animation along with the prize for Best Narrative Short.
This year’s Competition Short Jury was guided by the expertise of Jodie Mack (United States), Anne Koizumi (Canada), the OIAF ‘20 winner for Best Narrative and Canadian Animation, and Kang Min Kim (United States), the OIAF ‘20 Grand Prize and Public Prize winner.

Full Competition Prize Winner List
Grand Prize for Short Animation
Winner: Honekami (A Bite of Bone) | Honami Yano | Japan
Jury Comment: This film was made on top of traditional techniques. But it has the power to lead us in a new direction. In an image composed of dots, we freely cross places and memories as if we are all small dots. After looking at the work, we can see why the director used these techniques. And it leaves a long lingering impression.
Grand Prize for Animated Feature
Winner: Bob Spit – We Do Not Like People | Cesar Cabral | Brazil
Special Mention: Elulu | Gabriel Verdugo Soto | Chile
Jury Comment: For its melange of mainstream and DIY, documentary and fiction, ingenious and visually attractive story of an artist and his universe, the Grand Prize goes to Bob Spit – We Do Not Like People by Cesar Cabral, Brazil.
Public Prize
Winner: Night Bus | Joe Hsieh | Taiwan
Canadian Film Institute (CFI) Award for Best Canadian Animation
Winner: The Shaman’s Apprentice | Zacharias Kunuk | Canada
Special Mention: Meneath: The Island of Hidden Ethics | Terril Calder | Canada
Vimeo Staff Pick Award
Winner: Un kilomètre à pied (Ten, Twenty, Thirty, Forty, Fifty Miles a Day) | Mathieu Georis | Belgium
Animated Short Competition – Category Prizes
Best Non-Narrative
Winner: Anxious Body | Yoriko Mizushiri | France and Japan
Jury Comment: Without visual texture, the film touches our bodies through its visceral fusion of the subconscious, unconscious, and conscious states of the mind and body.
Best Narrative
Winner: The Shaman’s Apprentice | Zacharias Kunuk | Canada
Jury Comment: The Shaman’s Apprentice is a masterful work of storytelling and the sharing of traditional Inuit knowledge utilizing impeccably detailed sets, costumes, props and puppets and told beautifully with precision and care. Using the Arctic landscape as a metaphor to the spiritual world, Zacharias Kunuk invites us to learn about Inuit shamanism and spirituality, a part of Inuit culture that was hidden for so long by colonialism. Like the Shaman, Kunuk transmits his knowledge and teachings through this film, and it is as if he is turning to us at the end and asking, “What have we learned?”
Bento Box Award for Best Student Animation
Winner: Space | Zhong Xian | United Kingdom
Jury Comment: Space moves us through the cyclical nature of falling in and out of love with swooping shots, original and playful transitions, a simple yet bold and expressive style, and shows us that love, like animation, can be a cycle that repeats itself.

Winner: Bémol | Oana Lacroix | Switzerland
Special Mention 1: Konigiri-Kun Concert | Mari Miyazawa | Japan
Special Mention 2: S is for Spiders | Warren Brown | Canada

Animated Short Competition – Craft Awards
Best Script
Winner: All Those Sensations in My Belly | Marko Djeska | Croatia and Portugal
Best Design
Winner: Abandoned Village | Mariam Kapanadze | Georgia
Best Animation Technique
Winner: Steakhouse | Špela Čadež | Slovenia, Germany, and France
Best Sound Design
Winner: A Family That Steals Dogs | John C. Kelley | United States
Jury Comment: A Family that Steals Dogs uses sound to enhance an already visually compelling portrayal of the loneliness of grief and the consequential chaos in the mind. The comforting sounds of fire crackling and rain falling make us feel more isolated while the otherworldly tones are hauntingly soothing, reinforcing the tension between the protagonist’s conflicting thoughts and emotions as we become familiar with the unfamiliar and vice versa.

Zum Film:
Die Madrigals sind eine ungewöhnliche Familie, die tief versteckt in den Bergen Kolumbiens an einem wundersamen, verzauberten Ort namens „Encanto“ leben. Die Magie des „Encanto“ hat jedes Kind der Familie mit einer einzigartigen Gabe gesegnet, von Superkräften bis hin zur Kraft des Heilens – jedes Kind hat eine besondere Fähigkeit. Jedes Kind außer Mirabel. Doch als sie herausfindet, dass ihr geliebtes Encanto in Gefahr ist, wird Mirabel bewusst, dass sie allein die letzte Hoffnung für ihre außergewöhnliche Familie und ihr wunderbares Zuhause sein könnte…
Der neue Trailer enthält den Originalfilmsong „Colombia, Mi Encanto“, gesungen von dem 17-fachen GRAMMY® und Latin GRAMMY Gewinner, Sänger, Songwriter und Schauspieler Carlos Vives, der aus Santa Marta in Kolumbien stammt. “Das Lied feiert die magische Diversität Kolumbiens,” sagt Vives. „Ich kann es nicht abwarten, zu sehen, wie sich die Musik mit den Filmbildern und Charakteren, inspiriert vom Charme Kolumbiens, verbinden wird.“
Der mit dem Emmy®, GRAMMY® und Tony Award® ausgezeichnete Komponist Lin-Manuel Miranda (VAIANA, HAMILTON) hat für den neuesten Animationsspaß der Walt Disney Animation Studios neue, mitreißende Songs geschrieben. Regie führte Byron Howard (ZOOMANIA, RAPUNZEL – NEU VERFÖHNT) zusammen mit Jared Bush (Co-Regie ZOOMANIA) und Charise Castro Smith als Co-Regisseurin (Drehbuch zu “The Death of Eva Sofia Valdez”). Das liebevolle und lustige Familienabenteuer wurde produziert vom Oscar®-prämierten Clark Spencer (ZOOMANIA, RALF REICHTS) mit Yvett Merino. Die Filmemacher waren nicht nur zutiefst inspiriert durch ihre Expedition nach Kolumbien zu Beginn des Projektes, sondern auch durch die kontinuierliche Zusammenarbeit mit einem Expertenteam, das während der Produktion zusammengestellt wurde.
ENCANTO startet am 24. November 2021 bundesweit in den Kinos.
