During the IFFR 2006 Awards Ceremony for Short Films on Monday, January 30, 2006 in Calypso in Rotterdam, the winning short films of the 35th International Film Festival Rotterdam were announced. The three Tiger Awards for Short Film were granted to BEGINNINGS by Roy Villevoye (The Netherlands) and the animated films RABBIT by Run Wrake (United Kingdom) and WHO I AM AND WHAT I WANT by David Shrigley & Chris Shepherd (United Kingdom).

For the second edition of the Tiger Awards Competition for Short Film, thirty films were selected of no more than thirty minutes in length, and the majority had their world, international or European premiere during IFFR 2006. Each of the three Tiger Awards for Short Film comes with a prize of 3,000 Euro. The Tiger Awards for Short Film are sponsored by Binger Film Lab, Amsterdam.

The jury statements on the three winners:
BEGINNINGS by Roy Villevoye (The Netherlands, 2006)
“In a simple yet sly way this film takes us on a journey where all is not what is seems. With a light touch we are brought into and thrown out of the garden of earthly delights.”

RABBIT by Run Wrake (United Kingdom, 2005)
“In this animated film there is an abundance of images and words, a wonderful excess of labeling that runs amok around the traditional format of the children’s alphabet book. Greed takes over from innocence as we learn that the worlds of adults and children aren’t that different from each other.”


WHO I AM AND WHAT I WANT by David Shrigley & Chris Shepherd (United Kingdom, 2005)
“This deliberately crude animation in black and white delivers a dark tale with cruel, but liberating humor. “
