DAWIT - DAVID JANSEN (2015) *

Winner of the Best Short Animation Award in the FILMSshort Competition, the dialogue-free Dawit (or Daewit) was also a hit on the festival circuit around the world, including at the Berlin International Film Festival. Dawit tells the story of a baby who lives with his violent father and fearful mother on a small island until his mother decides his best chance of survival is elsewhere. She puts him in a tiny boat and sends him out to sea. Washed up on a beach, Dawit is brought up by a pack of wolves before humans intervene. But can Daewit live in our human world and can he forget his dark past? Dawit was produced by Fabian&Fred, while the writing credits are shared by David Jansen and Sophie Biesenbach.
