BREAKING WALLS wins BEST ANIMATION at Clermont-Ferrand

10-02-26: It is with great honour that we announce that we have won the award for Best Animated Film at the 2026 Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival!

Many thanks to the jury members, Trần Anh Hùng, Ramata-Toulaye Sy, Bahar Pars, Corina Schwingruber Ilić, Ružica Hajdari for granting us this prize.

In a deeply moving speech, Bahar delivered an emotional speech, a jury rapport that beautifully captured the spirit and heart of the film:

This film is complex and catches the spirit of our time. The political topic of freedom of speech goes hand in hand with the norms inside families. The fight for liberation and free choices: how you want to live and how you want to love, or whoever you want to love. Yes, of course, this film is Breaking Walls.
