Press release from the National Film Board of Canada:
Toronto – The National Film Board of Canada [1] (NFB) added to its roster of more than 90 Genie Awards [2] on Thursday, with the Academy of Canadian Cinema & Television naming Romance [3] as the top Canadian animated short film for 2011.
In Romance, by virtuoso animator Georges Schwizgebel, a plane hits turbulence and a man’s spirit plunges into a different world. Here, his desires take control and the result is a grand romantic saga. Romance masterfully marries swirling movement with a Rachmaninoff scherzo, erasing the boundary between dreams and reality. Produced by Marc Bertrand for the NFB and Georges Schwizgebel for Studio GDS.
