The Wound (Obida), Anna Budanova RU 2013, 9’

Hefty and awkward, the young girl lies under the bed and gives shape and form to her sorrow. She draws a shaggy creature in the dust, which comes to life and helps the young woman deal with her rejection and heartbreak. This Russian animation film presents the treacherous friendship in nightmarishly beautiful images.

Jury laudation: ”It has a high quality standard and is beautifully drawn. The subject matter is transmitted in a very sensitive way.”
