Prague, July 19 (CTK) – The Czech animated film Rosa & Dara and their Great Holiday Adventure won the Distinction Award in the children’s section at the Seoul International Cartoon & Animation Festival (SICAF) held in the South Korean capital on July 6-10, Martina Rekova told CTK yesterday.
“I feel a great pleasure that apart from the film story, the jury also appreciated the artistic concept of the film,” said the film’s director and artist Martin Duda, who attended the festival.
The film, launched in cinemas last October, was previously presented at the Cartoon Forum in Toulouse, France, as well as the festivals in Stuttgart, Germany, the Short Film Festival in Prague, the Slovak part of Febiofest and the Academia Film Olomouc, north Moravia.
It will be soon screened at the Supertoon festival in Croatia and the Anibar Animation festival in Kosovo.
The film story about twins was also published in a book entitled The Exercise Book of Rosa & Dara’s Activities. It has a form of a multifunctional notebook for children and their parents during summer holiday, including 40 illustrated pages, texts with tasks, two board games, postcards and a comic strip, among others.
An audio version prepared for smaller children who cannot read can be downloaded for free on www.rosadara.tv.
“We would like the film to be a genuine family entertainment that both children and adults can share jointly. The success of the film, the book and the festival award proves that we are doing well,” film producer Vratislav Slajer, from Bionaut Animation, said.
The film combines 2D and 3D animation on the top level and offers action entertainment for children from six to eight years, he added.
The film was created with support of the Cinematography Fund and the MEDIA Creative Europe programme. Its co-producer is public Czech Television (CT).
