Each year Brown Bag Films judges the animation category for  the Fresh Film Festival. The festival showcases the work of Irish filmmakers under the age of 18, and arranges a programme of youth film events throughout the year.

This year the festival took place from the 22nd – 25th March, and the Brown Bag Animation Award was awarded to Alfie Hollingsworth & Dylan Bickerton (aged 14), for their film ‘Reflection’.

We felt that ‘Reflection’  showed great attention to detail in the set and animation. Though short, the film had a clear, simple concept that  was nicely realised throughout the 2 minutes. The voiceover and music contributed to a touching short film and we were impressed by Alfie and Dylan’s storytelling skill.

We also awarded a Special Commendation to Niall Cunniffe (aged 16)  for his film ‘Dracula’, which was a creative project that showed inventive talent from Niall.
