‘Chosen unanimously’ by the judging panel, Ethel & Ernest has taken home the award for Best Feature Film at the International Animation Festival CHILEMONOS, one of the biggest film festivals in Chile.
The film was up against Loving Vincent (Dir: Dorota Kobiela and Hugh Welchman – Poland/UK), Early Man (Dir: Nick Park – UK), and Peztronauta La Pelicula (Dir: Célia Catunda, Kiko Mistrorigo, Rodrigo Eba – Brasil).
Producer Camilla Deakin was in Santiago to collect the prize. While there, she also presented two masterclasses on how Lupus Films adapted the book of Ethel & Ernest into an animated feature film and was on the judging panel for Best Animated TV Series.
