The ECFA Award at this year’s Schlingel Int. Film Festival for Children & Young People in Chemnitz (Germany) went to SPREAD YOUR WINGS by Nicolas Vanier (France).

The ECFA Jury were Kim Sang-hwa (Bicky Festival, South Korea), Nora Lakos (Cinemira, Hungary) and Cecile Standten (Germany) (see picture, from left to right).
