Away - Multi Award-Winning Animated Masterpiece

away

AWAY is about a boy travelling across an island on a motorcycle, trying to escape a dark spirit and get back home. Along the way, he makes a series of connections with different animals and reflects on the possible ways he ended up on the island. Part dream, part reality AWAY explores our common, universal need to find a connection.

Director, writer, producer, animator and film score creator Gints Zilbalodis worked on the film for three and a half years, writing the story, creating the beautifully animated landscapes and characters, and composing and recording the enchanting music to this stunning dialogue-free film. 



This single-handed creation from Zilbalodis on a shoestring budget took critics by storm, gaining a 100% fresh rating on rotten tomatoes and winning the prestigious Contrechamp Award at Annecy International Animation Film Festival 2019.
