Galway based A Man & Ink

 
 

Galway based A Man & Ink recently won the Fipresci Award at the 50th Annecy International Animation Film Festival for Miss Remarkable & Her Career. The short film is based on the very successful graphic novel with the same title. It's a darkly comic tale of Miss Remarkable’s struggle with her own demons, crushing parental expectations and a career meltdown. The film is a 3 way co-production between Ireland, Sweden and Denmark. Involving the companies A Man & Ink (Ireland), Lisbet Gabrielsson Film AB (Sweden) and Bullitt Film (Denmark) and was made with the participation of Bord Scannán na hÉireann/the Irish Film Board.

What the Fipresci Judges had to say
“Remarkable! We poor film critics not only have to be very articulate when praising or condemning a film, but we have also to be very creative and come up with witty, clever texts each week for the cinema loving audience. So we can really relate to the heroine in the film we chose as our winner. And it’s with great pride we say: we all loved Miss Remarkable and her Career!”
