The Estonian Body Memory conquers Anim'est 2011

The Estonian Body Memory conquers Anim'est 2011

The experimental Body Memory by Ülo Pikkov takes as its central concept the idea that our body remembers, apart from individual experiences,  also the sorrow and pain of the predecessors.

Body Memory will also be Anim'est's nominated film in the 2012 edition of Cartoon D' Or, which awards the best short animated European film among various European animation festivals.

Ugly Duckling (Garri Bardin, Russia), based on the famous Hans Christian Andersen fairytale, won the feature film award, while the ever-present The External World by David O'Reilly won the best short film award.

The 6thl Anim'est took place from 7-16 October in Bucharest, and screened 54 short films and five feature films from 26 countries.
