Eva Pedroza and Fanny Sorgo receive the "Grand Post Award" for their surrealist animation Tako Tsubo at this year's Tricky Women/ Tricky Realities festival. Here's the Jury Statement: "Freedom and joy in filmmaking translate into dark explorations of loving and living. For its poetic, condensed and existentialist humor, we give the Grand Post award to Tako Tsubo." - Heartfelt congrats!
