I WILL TAKE YOUR SHADOW – HONORABLE MENTION

The Jury’s Comment: Guy’s family history resonates in the slivers of memory that emerge before us in sequence through ink drawing animation. The story, recounted in her voice, weaves a personal and collective memory, one of imagination and ideology. It is a tale of unremitting loss, a void of past experiences that is identifiable even to those who have yet to encounter it; ghosts within us that function as self-fulfilling prophecies, their mark left as shadows passed from one generation to the next.
