3. Animation that Matters Award to Yellow Submarine

A strong element in our DNA was the desire to focus on films that matter. Our panels have been focused each past years on this question 'will animation save our world"? This film gives us a g=few answers: All you need is love...

In 2016 we presented BILAL by Ayman Jamal from Barajoun Entertainment (Dubai) the first Animation that Matters Award. www.bilalmovie.com

In 2017 we delivered three Animation that Matter Awards to Iqbal by Michel Fuzellier and Babak Payami, Junod by Shinichiro Kimura, Release from from Heaven by Ali Noori Oskouei.

These prizes recognise the positive values and messages in movies that matter and make us grow as human beeings. The inspiration came to Bruno Chatelin from his Columbia TriStar days (Sony) when David Puttnam initiated that catch line for the Studio he was running.

Yonathan Parienti (Horyou.com CEO) , Laurie Gordon (Founder of Montreal International Animation Film Festival co founder of and Animation Day in Cannes) and Bruno Chatelin (founder of filmfestivals.com and Animation Day in Cannes) will remit the prizes

The accolade will be remitted for the film to Gerald Potterton on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the film release.
