MOST PROMISING ANIMATOR AWARD 

This award is selected by the festival founder for anyone who shows a passion and promise in the art of animation. Based on sheer passion for the artfom the artistic and creative aspect of the piece is not necessarily a determining factor. Kendell is an autistic young man who is passionate about animation. Animae Caribe is working initiatives with the Autistic Society of Trinidad & Tobago and therefore this is a fitting award at this time.

AWARD FOR MOST OUTSTANDING FILM

These selections were based on outstanding application of animation principles, storytelling techniques and use of visual storytelling concepts.

BOOTCAMP – BEST ANIMATED IDEA 

On the first day of this year’s festival, the Animation Bootcamp welcomed all players in the field – from musicians, generalists, animators to artists to be part of an opportunity to work with each other. In addition, some of the guest animators speaking at this year’s festival – Caiphus Moore, Emma Allen, Alain Bidard, Gordon Durity – were mentors to the participants of the bootcamp.
