In Gints Zilbalodis‘ Cannes Un Certain Regard selected animated film Flow, a diverse group of animals bands together to navigate a post-apocalyptic on….a boat. We have a house cat, a Labrador retriever, a capybara, a lemur and an errant bird all helping to the group’s diverse skill set. This was shortlisted to the group of fifteen films for the Best International Film category and will likely receive a nomination for the Best Animated feature.
During a Q&A award session hosted by Josh Haroutunian, I had the chance to ask the filmmaker about his choice in terms of which animal species he wanted in the boat – and the logic behind it. North American distribution is handled by Sideshow and Janus Films.
