PRESS RELEASE:
UK ANIMATION WINS BEST FILMINUTE
Top honours also go to Hungarian and Romanian productions at Filminute international one-minute film festival

LONDON/BUCHAREST, October 12, 2008 - Maniacally competitive sock puppets, an innocent take on the proverbial "quickie," and a sci-fi rendering of the wonders of antacid take top honours at Filminute, the international one-minute film festival. The 2008 Filminute Awards were announced today at a live event at the Orange Concept Store in Bucharest and on a televised special on ShortsTV in Europe.

Filminute's seven-member international jury awarded the Best Filminute to UK director Oli Hyatt's animated romp STITCHUP SHOWDOWN - GYM JAM. Produced by Blue-Zoo and Nickelodeon, Hyatt's animated film features sock puppet warriors in a death-defying gym work out.

Determined by a worldwide audience from more than 90 countries, Filminute's People's Choice Award goes to Hungarian director Pici Papai's QUICK, which looks at an adult relationship through the eyes of children.
