The animated film “Eve” by Morten Tšinakov and Lucija Mrzljak has won the Emile Award for best characters and backgrounds in the short animation category at the 2024 European Animation Awards ceremony.
The Emile Awards, presented on 23 September at the opening of the Animasyros International Animation Festival in Greece, were established in 2017 by the European Animation Awards Association to recognise the achievements of talented and independent filmmakers in animation. The awards celebrate not only directors but also other members of a film’s creative team, in both feature-length and short animations.
“Eve” – or “Eeva” in Estonian – is a visually refined, funeral-themed film that made its debut at the 73rd Berlinale in February 2023.
