1st PLACE – ZARDZEWIA PODKOWA, ‘The film “Lack” stood out for its exceptional maturity and the beauty of its animation, which not only give it a unique character, but also made a difficult subject matter shown in a non-literal way. Not only does the animation work perfectly with the emotional message, but it is also a key element in making it possible to understand the deep feelings and complexity of the human experience. As a jury, we recognise that ‘Lack’ is not only an exceptional piece of filmmaking, but also an important voice in the social discussion on loss and bereavement. We congratulate Pavel Prewencki for his ability to convey deep emotions, using the beauty of animation as an essential element of this artistic narrative‘, Eadweard Muybridge Film Festival, Orzesz, Poland, 2023-12-16
