Bitfilm of the Day (August 30, 2016): City Paradise

City Paradise by Gaëlle Denis was the winner of the FX Mix award at Bitfilm 2005.  

Her film is a mix of live action and animation. It tells the story of a Japanese girl who moves to London. While she tries to learn English and cope with life in a strange city, she discovers an even stranger city in the underground.

City Paradise is a beautiful, poetic and funny film which shows how you can mix different techniques to create a phantasy world. Definitely one of our favourites! It won many other awards, among them the Special Jury Award in Annecy and Best Animated Short at the Los Angeles Film Festival.
