BEST SCREENPLAY AWARD
RUBEN BRANDT, COLLECTOR
Screenwriter: Milorad Krstic & Radmila Roczkov
“A witty, wild and fun animation adventure! The excellent screenplay is a creative, joyfully and assuredly absurd story, which toys with “James Bond” style international masterminds and deep state law enforcement heroes. The animation is beautifully executed, literate and playfully ironic. Set in the context of the world’s finest art museums and high-brow art exhibition it creates a decidedly fun and smart movie experience.”
