Oscar Run + New US distribution
We have moved to a new distributor for the US - GKIDS http://www.gkids.tv/films/
They have great films like Azur and Asmar, Mia and the Migou and Sita Sings the Blues on their books and we are very happy to be working with them.
They plan a US release next year around St.Patricks day with a few screenings leading up to that starting in the new year.
They have also put Kells in for an Oscar run this year.
Its a crazy competitive year with so many great animated features eligible this year we know a nomination is a long shot but we thought we might as well go for it any way.
You never know....

Kerry Film Festival
Back in the Kingdom, where I was married many moons past.
Lovely intimate festival, had a packed screening today with loads of enthusastic school kids and also a lecture in the Tralee IT.
After screening the film all over the world this year , its great to show it to Irish kids again, but the questions and observations are often very similar no matter what country we show it in!
Plenty of impressive short films on show here , lots of films made on tiny budgets but with impressive results.

EFA announces nominees for best animated feature
The European Film Academy has announced the three nominations for its Animated Feature Film Award, to be presented at the 22nd European Film Awards on December 12 in Germany.
Tomm Moore’s The Secret Of Kells (France), Jacques-Rémy Girerd’s Mia And The Migoo (France) and Kari Juusonen & Michael Hegner’s Niko & The Way To The Stars (Finland/Germany/Denmark/Ireland) were selected by a jury made up of EFA board members.
They will now be submitted to EFA members who will vote for the winner.
The Secret Of Kells, which was the big winner at the Cartoon Movie Tributes in March, is about a 9th Century Irish Abbey which is threatened by Vikings. Mia And The Migoo tells the story of a young girl’s encounter with a mysterious creature on her journey to find her father. Niko & The Way To The Stars is about a young reindeer who is still learning how to fly.
