Father and Daughter

An Oscar and BAFTA Award-winning film (Best Animated Short), this bittersweet tale explores the deep bond between father and daughter. Set against a wide landscape, a father bids farewell to his young girl. Through the seasons, the girl matures to a woman, raising a family of her own, yet the love for her father remains with her always.

"Each shot is exquisite: the long shadows of trees or bicycle; seascape and sky, vast and empty. The seasons change with a rustle of leaves or the girl struggling up the hill against a wind that bends trees. The music by Norman Roger is sympathetic to the theme, essentially a lilting tune but arranged with tone and depth...This astonishingly accomplished and poetic movie fulfils in every sense." - Ian Lumsden, Shortoftheweek.com
