Anima Mundi, the international animation festival of Brazil, wrapped up on July 25 with the announcements of the São Paulo winners. The event is like two festivals in one running in Rio de Janeiro (July 9 18) then moves to São Paulo (July 21 25). Taking the Rio short prize was Oscar winning film HARVIE KRUMPET. In the São Paulo section, Bill Plympton's new short GUARD DOG took home the audience short prize while French short JURANNESSIC from In-Ah Roediger, Yann Avenati, Simon Andsivean, Hervé Barberean and Louis Clichy beat out Annecy winner LORENZO for the best animation prize.
