Passion Pictures Wins Big at Ciclope Festival
Passion Pictures has taken out gold and
bronze awards, and Animation Company of the Year at the 2018 Ciclope
Awards, held this week in Berlin.
Two Passion directors collected bronze; Reuben McNaughton, for his
'Together Again' spot for Dementia UK, and Salon Alpin for the Iceland
Foods 'There's a Rang-Tan in my Bedroom' spot, which has exploded online
after being deemed 'too political' and banned in the UK.
Dedicated to
celebrating the craft of execution, Ciclope Festival this year also
awarded work from Spike Jonze and Hiro Murai (of Atlanta and 'This is
America' fame).
Says Katie Mackin, MD,
Passion Pictures Australia: "It's extremely gratifying to see 'Joy
Story: Joy & Heron' being recognised (with gold) on the global
stage, particularly amongst such esteemed individuals, and up against
some really impressive films."
