Rising Award
Congratulations to Jemima Hughes on winning the first-ever Coventry Phoenix Film Festival Phoenix Rising Award for Unbound!
Unbound is a lively and colourful three-minute abstract animation which presents the filmmaker's feelings about being perceived as “wheelchair-bound” and her positive experience of physically exciting activities such as dancing and zip wiring. It combines cut out animation in hand-painted watercolour paper with digital effects, using colours, shapes and movement inspired by Kandinsky’s paintings to express emotion. The director's voice-over, spoken on her electronic communication aid and subtitled, describes her experiences. Jazz-inspired music composed for the film reflects the motion and excitement of the activities.
Best Film
Aisle 17 - In a world savaged by pollution, it would seem impossible to comprehend a day-to-day life, but somehow normality must continue on. We follow one man navigating his way through his daily shop.
Congratulations to Director Mike Doxford, Writers Molly Jones & Scott Parkin on winning the first-ever Phoenix Film Festival Award for Best Film!
