VIEW Award/VIEWFest
“Special achievement awards were given to “Only a Child,” which was just named to the shortlist of films being considered for an Oscar nomination, and “Cat and Moth.”...India Barnardo put a new twist on an oft-used plot in animation in “Cat and Moth,” which the jury appreciated for its “many inspired moments of absolute brilliance.”
“For her directorial debut, Vancouver-based animator India Barnardo took an overused plot in animation and surprised the jury with so many inspired moments of absolute brilliance they could not let it go unnoticed. The jury called it a good giggle, fresh, well-timed, charming, fun, original, and truly enjoyable. A 90-plus crew from around the world helped Barnardo achieve her vision.”
