Our shortfilm “Princess’ Painting”, directed by Klaus Morschheuser and Johannes Weiland, is being shown from West to East and is getting wonderful feedback: In Ottawa it was awarded as the Best Short Animation Made for Children, at the Chicago Film Fest it received the 1st Prize for an animated Television Production and at the famous Krok festival the film was awared “For creation of a story with nonintrusive morale”. Congratulation to the filmmakers and a hearty Thank You to all three juries!
Production has finished on Soi’s latest short for ZDF’s “Siebenstein” last week. In an amazing six weeks the lovely Adeline Grange, Benoit Tranchet, Bong Nguyen and Florian Parrot did a wonderful job bringing to life an emancipatory tale about a princess, her husband, and a dragon with a plan. The directors Jakob Schuh & Bin-Han To and all of studio soi would like to thank the entire team!
The “Little Boy and the Beast”, directed by Johannes Weiland and Uwe Heidschötter, has been awarded as Best European Animated Short in Sopot, Poland on September 15th. We feel very honored. Many, many thanks to the jury! To be in a group with Verena Fels’ “Mobile”, Damian Nenow’s “Paths of Hate”, André Bergs’ “Pivot”, David O’Reilly’s “The External World” and finally Jakob Schuh’s and Max Lang’s film “The Gruffalo” is really special.
Good news from Asia: In Korea our shortfilm “The litte Boy and the Beast” won 2011’s Grand Prix at SICAF in Seoul, in Thailand the film was recently awarded as “The Best Short Film suitable for older than 7 year old.” We’re very happy, thank you!

Dept. of Slow-News-Week: A highly dramatic, narrow away win yesterday for Studio Soi LB (represented by Carsten Bunte and Tobi von Burkersroda) against Studio Soi B (with players Bong Nguyen and Florian Parrot) in a breakneck first edition of the LB/B pingpong-tournaments. Very exciting!
Soi’s shortfilm “Princess’ Painting” will have quite a few screenings at worlwide festivals in the upcoming months.
Don’t miss it if you are planning on going to either one of these events:
