SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE, 12th May. (EUROPA PRESS) –

The seventh edition of the Quirino Awards for Ibero-American Animation wrapped up today, Saturday, with a clear dominance from Spain, taking home five out of the ten awards presented in San Cristóbal de La Laguna, in Tenerife.

Pablo Berger’s ‘Robotic Fantasies’ was honoured as the Best Movie, while the second season of the musical series ‘Jasmine & Jambo’ by Silvia Cortés seized the award for Best Series.

The accolade for Best Short Film was bestowed upon the Brazilian production ‘Lulina and the Moon’ by Marcus Vinicius Vasconcelos and Alois Di Leo. Additionally, works from Argentina, Chile, Colombia, and Portugal also earned recognition.

With the Cabildo de Tenerife as the main sponsor, the award ceremony for these accolades aimed at promoting Ibero-American animation was broadcast globally online.

Following its previous recognition as a finalist in the Oscars, ‘Robotic Fantasies’ narrates a tale of friendship featuring a dog and a robot in 1980s New York. Produced by the Spanish companies Arcadia Motion Pictures and Lokiz Films, this marks Berger’s first foray into animated feature films, having previously directed ‘Torremolinos 73’, ‘Snow White’, and ‘Abracadabra’. The film also scooped the award for Best Sound Design and Original Music, composed by Alfonso de Vilallonga.

After securing the accolade for Best Series in 2023, ‘Jasmine & Jambo’ once again triumphed in this category with its second season. Geared towards preschool audiences, the series showcases two characters who share their love for music to draw connections with life and emotions, while elucidating musical concepts. The series is a production by the Barcelona-based Teidees Audiovisuals, in co-production with the Corporació Catalana de Mitjans Audiovisuals.

Marcus Vinicius Vasconcelos and Alois Di Leo collected the award for Best Short Film with ‘Lulina and the Moon’, a poetic 2D animation that serves as a tribute to childhood. Lulina, a girl, confronts her conflicts by utilising her drawings, which spring to life through her imagination. Through this work, Di Leo returns to the Quirino, where he was previously lauded in 2018 for his short film ‘Path of the Giants’. Vasconcelos’ works, on the other hand, have garnered nominations and accolades in various international festivals.

The award for Best School Short Film was claimed by the drama ‘The Escape’, a stop-motion creation by the Colombian-Belgian filmmaker Paola Cubillos, produced by KASK & Conservatorium Hogeschool Gent and Vrije Universiteit Brussels. In the newly introduced category of Best Video, the award went to ‘All the Best’, a music video helmed by Argentine director Pablo Roldán for the electropop band Siamés. ‘In the Stars’, a short film by the Chilean Punkrobot Studio directed by Oscar winner Gabriel Osorio, snagged the Best Custom Animation award. The short is part of the anthology ‘Star Wars: Visions’.

Rounding off the list of winners was the award for Best Video Game Animation, claimed by ‘The Many Pieces of Mr. Coo’, directed by Nacho Rodríguez and developed by the Spanish company Gammera Nest, as well as the technical prizes for Best Visual Development, secured by the Spanish feature film ‘The Sultana’s Dream’ by Isabel Herguera, and Best Animation Design, bestowed upon the Portuguese short ‘Sopacold’ by Marta Monteiro.

Lastly, Héctor and Liliana Cristiani -the grandson and great-granddaughter of Quirino Cristiani- were honoured with the Distinction Award. Cristiani was the pioneer behind the first-ever animated feature film in history: an Argentine production titled ‘The Apostle’ (1917), utilising 58,000 hand-drawn frames captured on 35 mm film.

The jury for this edition comprised directors José Miguel Ribeiro (Portugal), Marcela Rincón (Colombia), and Wesley Louis (United Kingdom), alongside Zane Valeniece (LTV, Latvia) and Emmanuèle Petry (Dandelooo, France). The 25 finalist works were selected from 247 submissions. Since its inception, a total of 1,729 works have been submitted for these awards, playing a crucial role in fostering a shared platform for animation within the Ibero-American region.
