Anifilm winner to qualify for Oscars consideration

The winning short from the Anifilm international festival of animated film, which takes place in Liberec next week, will get the chance of winning an Academy Award, Anifilm organisers said.

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences recently added the Czech event to a list of selected festivals from which the winning film qualifies for Oscars consideration.

Anifilm is the only Czech festival with this authorisation.
