Best character
A toad song
by Kariem Saleh & Robert Martin, Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg, Germany
This film is characterised by a deliberately unaesthetic character design that appears all the more original. This emphasises the difficult psychological theme of uninvited childhood, which the characters carry around on their heads in the form of a toad.

Poilus

Shine
by Alexander Dietrich & Johannes Flick, Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg, Germany
One of the adorable, light-sucking monkeys already graced the DP cover 06:15 in 2015. The two other characters in the film were also very popular at the jury meeting, so the film received its nomination. At the animago CONFERENCE, the two makers will explain how the project came about.
