Charades Boards Animated Feature ‘Flow’ from ‘Away’ Director Ahead of Annecy’s WIP Showcase (EXCLUSIVE)
variety.comElsa Keslassy International Correspondent Charades (“Mirai,” “I Lost My Body”) has acquired “Flow,” a 3D animated feature directed by Gints Zilbalodis, the Annie-nominated filmmaker of “Away”.
Produced by Sacrebleu Productions, Dream Well Studio and Take Five, “Flow” will be presented in the Work-in-Progress section in Annecy.
Zilbalodis penned the feature with Matiss Kaza at Dream Well Studio and Ron Dyens (“Barking Island”) at Sacrebleu Productions who are acting as co-writers and producers. “Flow” is currently in production in Marseille, Paris and Bruxelles, with an expected delivery date during the second quarter of 2024. “Flow” is set in the aftermath of a terrible flood that ravages the world and follows a stubbornly independent cat who is forced to share a boat with a group of other animals.
Getting along with them proves to be an even greater challenge than surviving the flood. Zilbalodis, a Latvian filmmaker and animator, made his feature debut at the age of 24 with “Away.” The movie won the Contrechamp Prize for best feature film at Annecy. “Away” was also selected at over 85 festivals, sold in 18 territories, and earned a nomination at the Annie Awards.
