Old virgins with a drowned man

The XIV International Festival of animation films "KROC" ended the closing of the festival and the awarding of the laureates took place on October 6 in Kyiv. The award ceremony in the Kiev House of Cinema began with the show of the film "Petya and the Wolf" (Great Britain - Poland), accompanied by the municipal symphony orchestra. The director of the film Suzi Templeton was awarded a special jury prize and $ 3 thousand for a new reading of the Prokofievsky topic. The novelty consisted of a gloomy-potion visual series: a hut-finslager, an ever-worship landscape around an eternally winter. Grandfather-prisoners, a vast cat, dumb Petya, drunken bastards hunters.

However, it must be admitted that watching this movie, accompanied by a living orchestra, is much more interesting than listening to the text of "Petit and the Wolf", traditionally pronounced under the orchestra in the halls of the Philharmonic.

The prize named after Alexander Tatarsky "Plasticine crow" for the highest aerobatics and $ 3 thousand were given to the Korean director of the film "Daddy Wolf" Chan Hun Yunya. The venerable writer - an intelligent look of a wolf, is large and fat, is secluded in the village to write a novel. And then ladies are one after another, they give him different kids: a girl, a rabbit and a turtle, assure that these are his children, and disappear. The wolf dutifully grows them and brings them up, writing the novel is postponed for an indefinite time. The wisdom of the protagonist and his endless ability to contemplation are striking. He would be a man - he would probably get an Oscar.

The Grand Prix and $ 5 thousand are given to the film "Sisters Pierce" of the English director Luis Cook. A terrible story about the two old fish-francs who found their happiness in the company of the mummified drowned man.

A wonderful cheerful and funny, superbly painted film by Oleg Zhininov "Zhikharka" has already received several prizes. On Krok, he also got rewards - a diploma and a prize for participating in the project "Mountain of Semlodes".

"My Love" Alexander Petrova received a diploma in the nomination "Films from 10 to 40 minutes." Petrov’s partner in this tape Mikhail Tumel was awarded for the laconicism and wit manifested in his own for a minute by the film “Unfinished Chen”.
