The animated film “Airborne” awarded around the world

The animated film “Airborne” by Andrzej Jobczyk, co-financed by the Polish Film Institute, wins more awards at international festivals. It was awarded in Japan, Brazil, France, Spain and Canada. It was also included in the competition sections of the Brussels Short Film Festival, Clermont-Ferrand Short Film Festival and ANIMA Brussels International Animation Film Festival. Recently, the animation director received the Jan Machulski’s award for the Best Animated Film.

“Airborne” is a story about passion, its roots and what we have to lose to be born again. This surreal animation combines the world of flying machines with the kingdom of flora and fauna. A combat-absorbed fighter pilot loses his target and suffers a great fall. The plane crashes into the crown of the tree. A tragedy that seems to be the end opens a new chapter in history. In the place of the catastrophe, a new life awakens, destined to unravel the mystery of its origin.

Andrzej Jobczyk is responsible for the film’s direction and script, Nikodem Chabior for the editing, Jakub Słomkowski and Rafał Smoliński for the music, and Michał Fojcik for the sound. The producer of the image is the company Letko.
