ACM SIGGRAPH recently announced the winners of the 2009 Computer Animation Festival at the 36th International Conference and Exhibition on Computer Graphics and Interactive Techniques. The winners were chosen from hundreds of submissions from around the globe, submitted by both students and professional studios.
Since 1999, the SIGGRAPH Computer Animation Festival has been an official qualifying festival for the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences’ "Best Animated Short Film" category.
This year, the Best in Show Award was given to French Roast, a film about a fancy Parisian cafe in the 1960s by Fabrice O. Joubert at the Pumpkin Factory. The Jury award Winner was DIX, a dark short film on the complexities of psychological and obsessive behavior by BIF Production and The Mill in the United States. The Student Prize Winner was Project: Alpha, the story of a chimpanzee recruited into the space program, by Matthias Bjarnason, Christian Munk Sorensen, and Nicolai Slothus at the Animation Workshop in Denmark.
