A sumptuous adaptation of Ernest Hemingway’s novel, this film won many awards : the RICA Grand Prix in Wissembourg in November 1999, then the Academy Award for Best Animation Short Film in Hollywood in February 2000 as well as the Audience and Jury Prizes in Annecy in June of the same year. He participates in the creation of a collective film, Winter Days, with some thirty other film directors such as Kihijiro Kawamoto, Bretislav Pojar, Raoul Servais, Isao Takahata, Yuri Norstein, Jacques Drouin ...
