Dr Simpo's ANIMATED ANTIDOTE Competition

HOLMFIRTH FILM FESTIVAL is happy to announce the winners of DR SIMPO'S grand ANIMATED ANTIDOTE competition.
The standard of the entries was remarkably high but a few stood out and after consideration of the popular vote and the votes of the members of the Festival Committee the winners of the three categories are...

Children - VID-20200808
Student - CURING COVID WITH LEECHES
Adult - DAY AT BEACH

The prize money has been contributed by the Festival and Richard Bates of Bates Mill. We are very grateful to Richard and will be working with him next year on festival events. Richard thought VID showed great imagination and felt like it was animated by a child, Leeches was 'Creative, captured the sense of boredom and was well realised - dark but playful', whilst Day at Beach had 'good gags, was well animated and the timing was excellent'.

Thanks everyone for taking part and I hope you enjoyed making them as much as we enjoyed watching them. And a special thanks to Dr Simpo for helping to organise this.

Prizes will be on their way.... THANKS

At the start of lockdown we invited film makers of all ages to make a short animation in response to  Covid. The films are in, watch them and vote for you favourite in three categories...
