The last one – an animated “Noise” scored the Méliès d’Argent award for the Best Short Film. On delivering the verdict jury stated the following: “Noise” is an imaginative mix of realism and animation, visualising the unseen in a playful manner. A cinematic pop-up book for people tired of urban noise.Film was made in frames of “Young animation” programme executed by Munk Studio. Although Przemysław Adamski’s animation was already screened at more than 30 festivals, including such a prominent ones as Dok Leipzig, Clermont-Ferrand or Huesca FF, the award in Lund is the first international recognition for the film.
