The Adonella Marena prize to
Magos das Plantas, by Diogo Linhares, Portugal, 2023"Because through the words of a simple and profound character, it highlights the physical bond that exists, but is ignored, between human plants. As the protagonist says, "the patience and unconditional love of the planet toward us is betrayed daily by humans, who believe themselves to be smarter and at the top of the evolutionary ladder, but only use violence toward the planet, thus killing themselves." The first gesture to restore balance is through mutual recognition, listening to and respecting the "different," from a deeply anti-speciesist perspective."
an Honorable Mention to Dear Animal, by Younes Kafashian, Iran, 2023"In a backdrop of muted colors and lapping water, with essential and expressive graphics, he tells a tender and ironic story that needs no words to illustrate an act of love, and at the same time a teaching from an elder to a young person.
an Honorable Mention to. The Fledgeling, by Murtaza Ansari, Pakistan, 2023It only takes a minute to express the contrast between the violence of the human act and the tenderness of helpless creatures. A simple and moving flash".
