Cinanima 2008 - The Results

Onde Quer Que Vás, Lá Estarás / Wherever You Go There You Are  - Sara Barbas

I am really happy and honoured to say I was awarded the Young Portuguese Director prize (18 to 30 year olds) at this year's International Animated Film Festival of Espinho - Cinanima with my Short: Onde Quer Que Vás, Lá Estarás / Wherever You Go There You Are. It was a lovely surprise and, for me, a very special edition of the Festival.

A very special Thank You to everyone who helped me with the making of the film!
