Oh Wal, Joana Locher, CH 2014, 5’50“

This fairytale tells the story of the fishing cat that has picked out the biggest nugget in the pond – the whale. When, after a long time planning, the cat finally lands the whale and eats it, the fish are furious about the demise of the whale, their god. They plot their revenge.

Jury laudation: ”We have decided to give the main award to a seducing, hilarious and daring film that renews the fairy tale genre by creating a crazy but completely plausible, mythical universe. We fell in love with the charming characters performing archaic ritual in a psychedelic world. The unrestrained visual style perfectly matches with the original, catchy and beautifully composed music. Congratulations for this exuberant creativity - we want to see more from this student!”
