We are very excited to announce the nomination of the film scores of "Mes - Walking" and "Mercury Bird" for the "Crystal Pine Award" at International Samobor Film Music Festival, where they have been chosen from more than 300 submissions.

For the first time ever, Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg presents a compilation of five DVDs with short films from the previous years. It’s all the more gratifying since “Captain Bligh“, “Kieselstein“ and “Mercury Bird“ found their way onto the DVDs “Shorts for Kids“ and “Animated Animals“ despite the huge number of possible film choices.

We proudly announce the nomination of three different film scores at this year's Park City Film Music Festival in Utah, USA.

The film score of the animation movie “Mercury Bird” is nominated for the Jerry-Goldsmith-Award 2010 for the best film score in the category “Short – Animation” at 6^th International Film Music Festival "Ciudad de Úbeda". So now it’s time to cross your fingers!

The animation movies „Bear’s Bride“ from Derek Roczen und „Mercury Bird“ from Ina Findeisen have been selected to be part of the worldwide exhibition „Animated Films from Germany“ from German “Institut für Auslandsbeziehungen” IFA (Institute for Foreign Cultural Relations). The exhibition starts in Israel and will be shown in likely more than 20 cities all over the word, partially in cooperation with Goethe-Institut. Tel-Aviv, Riga und Vilnius are remaining 2010.

Whether a great discovery will be a benefit for the world or to its disadvantage, does not depend on the discovery itself, but rather on the way it will be used. That’s also the case in Ina Findeisens 2D animation movie. She shows us an enchanting, well protected world, where various animals live together in a wood and feed troublesome. One day the young Panda makes a discovery in the forest, which brings one of the adults to an idea how to get easily around to a lot food – and greed comes up, fading everything else from the spotlight.
