Our animated film «Before Love» by Igor Kovalyov was selected as the “Best Film” in the International Competition of Fantoche, Switzerland’s biggest animation film festival!
Jury laudation: ”The jury chose this film for its perfection of sound, image and editing. With a richness and care of detail it carries us into the deep meanders of the feelings love and jealousy. It could perfectly illustrate Jacques Lacan’s definition of love: giving what you do not have to someone, who does not want it.”
