Congratulations to BEST OF SHOW winner Nancy LaPook Diamond for The Whistle. From Oscar-winning Six Point Harness studio, with direction by industry veteran Greg Franklin and Executive Producer Josh Gad (The Book of Mormon, Beauty & the Beast), this animated short transports audiences to 1938 Cologne, Germany. A Jewish doctor defies a N**i law forbidding him from treating non-Jews, risking everything as the consequences mount. Based on a true story, the film delivers a deeply affecting portrait of empathy, courage, and moral conviction, with exquisitely drawn characters, masterful animation, striking visuals, and a narrative that immerses viewers in the human spirit when tested by darkness.

Congratulations to Outstanding Achievement Award winner Aranya Parva Creations (India), Oxford Scientific Films and All3Media International (UK) for My Otter Diary. In this immersive and visually stunning documentary, visionary director Sugandhi Gadadhar, with Emmy-winning & BAFTA-nominated EP Caroline Hawkins, explores the intertwined lives of otters and humans along India’s rapidly changing Cauvery River. Over three years, the film follows Maya, a spirited smooth-coated otter, as she leads her family through a world of wonder and danger—navigating shrinking fish stocks, pollution, and human pressures—while Gadadhar discovers the delicate balance of this fragile ecosystem firsthand. Balancing tension and playfulness, the otters’ resilience shines through, captured in breathtaking cinematography and complemented by a lush, emotive score from Emmy-winner Brollyman, creating a fully immersive and unforgettable wildlife experience.
