Sunday Lunch, When Marnie Was There Take Home MONSTRA 2016 Awards

Films already awarded took home another award at the 15th edition of MONSTRA Lisbon festival. Troubled family stories had their vengeance in a festival that was also generous to Portuguese animators and directors.

The French Sunday Lunch by Céline Devaux (Sacrebleu Productions) about a routine Sunday lunch with aggressive overtones won the Grand Prix at the Festival.

The BAFTA-awarded Edmond by Nina Gantz, a stop-motion animation cousin of Oh, Willy (Emma de Swaef & Marc James Roels) made at NFTS, London, was the student grand prize of the festival

In the feature competition section, the latest Studio Ghibli film (and Oscar-nominated) When Marnie Was There by Hiromasa Yonebayashi won the award for Best Feature Film.

When Marnie Was There
