Boles Qualifies among the Five Nominees for the Cartoon d'Or Award
Thus the 12‑minute Boles, created in the Slovenian‑German co‑production, keeps receiving new awards and nominations. Boles has already been successful at many festivals: among others it received the award given by the short film jury at the Festival of Slovenian Film, in December it was selected as the best film by the audience of Animateka, while on January it also received an award at the Trieste Film Festival. The film based on the story by Maksim Gorki focuses on Filip, who keeps dreaming about better life as a famous writer. One day the prostitute Tereza asks him to write a letter to her lover Boles, and two weeks later also a love letter from Boles to her. Filip discovers that Boles does not exist and he denies Tereza's request.
Cartoon d'Or is the only exclusively European animation award. It was created in 1991 with the aim of promoting talented European makers of animated film.
