This is the 1985 film, not the stop motion film which won the award. Here is the trailer for comparison: Source. Thank you for sharing the results; lots of interesting short films to check out. I just saw Yoriko Mizushiri's work that won a Jury Recommendation. It has to be my favorite to date! You can watch it here officially on NHK's YouTube channel: Source. |

Also I do hope to see more of Mizushiri in the future! |
| Kaijuu no Kodomo 100% deserves this. That thing is possibly the best looking piece of media I have ever consumed. |
 "They escaped the weight of darkness, to forge a path into the marrow of the spirit. They chose to drown in a deeper vacancy, an emptiness that quells the null, a pool for the forgotten..." |
| Aaah... Children of the sea... I've been wanting to watch that for a while now.. saw the MV from Kenshi Yonezu (the movie's ost) and the animation was G O R G E O U S !!! |
 I'm starting to get embarrassed by my own forum signature line.. XD |
| Eeeeh, did Tenki no Ko really have any social impact? I don't really remember that movie delving deep into social themes, except maybe that goddamn gun (which felt really shoehorned into there and didn't really affect story much). |
