To provide some clarity I feel this news needs, the Paul Grimault Award is the third-place prize for Annecy’s main feature competition. The Tunnel was beaten to the top two spots by Four Souls of Coyote from Hungary, which won the Jury Award, and Chicken for Linda! from France and Italy, which won the Cristal (Annecy’s top award for its main competitions).
Previously, the feature, short, commissioned, TV and graduation competitions each had a Cristal and a Jury Award, and one or two other competitors often got a Jury Distinction (I wouldn’t call one the Jury Distinction, as there can be more than one – as there were for features in 2022 – or none). This year, the festival introduced third-place prizes in these categories (I guess in response to the number of worthy competitors each year, so that more than two could get actual awards), mostly named after respected directors of animated films. These appear to have replaced the need for Jury Distinctions so far. HIDIVE might have licensed The Tunnel for Northern America, but for the UK and Ireland it’s been licensed by Anime Limited and set to release in cinemas there on 14 July. Koji Yamamura’s Ikuta no Kita has an official English title, Dozens of Norths, and it’s titled as such on the festival’s site. |
