New images have been released for Gints Zilbalodis’ Golden Globe-winning animated feature Flow. Released theatrically in the U.S. by Sideshow and Janus Films, the critically acclaimed, dialog-free CG adventure is now available to own or rent on VOD.
Synopsis: A wondrous journey, through realms natural and mystical, Flow follows a courageous cat after his home is devastated by a great flood. Teaming up with a capybara, a lemur, a bird, and a dog to navigate a boat in search of dry land, they must rely on trust, courage and wits to survive the perils of a newly aquatic planet.
Flow premiered in the Cannes Film Festival’s Un Certain Regard sidebar last summer before screening at Annecy International Animation Film Festival, where it won four awards. In addition to the Golden Globe, Flow has won the European Film Award and National Board of Review Award for Best Animated Feature. The film is currently nominated for four Annie Awards and two Critics Choice Awards, and is under consideration for Academy Awards nominations for Animated Feature and International Feature (representing Latvia).
Zilbalodis (Away) directed the film, wrote the screenplay with Matiss Kaza, created the original score with Rihards Zalupe and served as producer alongside Kaza, Ron Dyens and Gregory Zalcman. Flow is produced by Zilbalodis’ Dream Well Studio (Latvia), Sacrebleu Productions (France) and Take Five (Belgium).
