‘Memoir of a Snail,’ ‘Flow’ Split Feature Honors at Annecy, ‘Percebes’ Wins Best Short
'Memoir of a Snail' won the Annecy Cristal for best animated feature, while 'Flow' won just about everything else.
The film will now hope to follow a recently worn path for animated features, such as “Robot Dreams” and “I Lost My Body,” which starts at Cannes, passes through Annecy, and ends at the Academy Awards with an Oscar nomination. Daniel Sterlin-Altman, a Film University Babelsberg Konrad Wolf alum, won the Cristal for a graduation short with “Carroptica,” a stop-motion offering about anthropomorphized carrots navigating lust and loneliness in the queerest of ways. On Thursday evening, Annecy awarded animation super-producer Bonnie Arnold (“How to Train Your Dragon,” “Toy Story”) with the festival’s Golden Ticket during a reception for members of the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences.
