Irish Animation ‘Coda’ Wins at SXSW
12 Mar 2014 : Aisling Newton
‘Coda’ - the short Irish animation funded by the Irish Film Board (IFB), RTÉ and the Arts Council, has won Best Animated Short Film at the prestigious South by SouthWest (SXSW) film festival in Austin, Texas.

The animation premiered at the festival along with Terry McMahon’s new feature film, ‘Patrick’s Day’, and Lenny Abrahamson's new film ‘Frank’.

Directed by Alan Holly (Old Fangs), ‘Coda’ is the culmination of two years’ work by a small team of dedicated animation artists. The film tells the story of a lost soul who stumbles drunkenly through the city. In a park, death finds him and shows him many things. The animated film from And Maps And Plans studio is produced by Ciaran Deeney.

The nine-minute, hand-drawn animation is voiced by Brian Gleeson (Standby, The Stag, Love/Hate) and Orla Fitzgerald (The Wind that Shakes the Barley). It was selected for SXSW out of 4,249 short film applications.

This award follows the news just announced that the Irish language short film Rúbaí was selected to have its International Premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York next month. The charming short film will join Irish feature films ‘The Canal’ directed by Ivan Kavanagh and John Butler’s film ‘The Stag’ at this prestigious New York festival founded by Robert de Niro.

‘Coda’ was produced under the Frameworks animation scheme which is funded by the IFB, RTÉ and the Arts Council.

Other key members of production from And Maps And Plans are Rory Byrne, Ronan Mc Meel, Shane Holly, Adrien Merigeau and Eoghan Dalton.

A preview for ‘Code’ can be viewed below:
