Written and directed by Sejong Park and produced by Andrew Gregory, the film is an Academy AwardŽ nominee in the 2005 Animated Short Film Category
and with the awards ceremony only a nail biting 11 days away we hope that this recent win is a positive indication of what's to come!
Birthday Boy has won 33-film festival awards and has screened at 57 festivals worldwide since it was completed in April 2004 and is currently touring the country with the Flickerfest National Tour.
Those that missed out on the opportunity of experiencing Birthday Boy whilst screening in Sydney will have the chance of catching him whilst on the road with the Flickerfest Tour which encompass key regional centres and many capital cities.
Having already screened to sell out audiences in Byron Bay and Alice Springs Festival Director Bronwyn Kidd says, "Flickerfest's national tour provides a platform for regional centres to see the best international short films of the year. We look forward to continuing Sydney's success right around the country."
After playing to full houses in Sydney the tour will screen some of the best international short films in the world, including Oscar Nomination BIRTHDAY BOY and other Oscar hopefuls; WASP (UK) - recipient of the 2005 Flickerfest Fuji Special Jury Prize; the multi award winning TWO CARS ONE NIGHT (NZ) and 7: 35 IN THE MORNING (SPAIN) DE BESTE GAR FORST (UNITED WE STAND) he
