Animated feast for the eyes | Animago Afternoon

With ski equipment to conquer the summit? The mountain is calling at the 2014 Winter Olympics – quite literally!

In nuce: As part of our weekly recurring series “Animago Afternoon”, we present pearls, gems and other splendours from last year’s Animago film festivals at the best time of the afternoon. This time we’re showing you the award-nominated promotional short film “BBC Winter Olympics”, realised by director Tomek Baginski and the girls and boys from “Platige Image”, salvaged from the Animago archives in 2014.

What is behind “BBC Winter Olympics”? For the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, director Tomek Baginski and Platige Image opted for a mountain landscape whipped by snow, accompanied by the voice of “Game of Thrones” actor Charles Dance (known in his role as Tywin Lannister).
