Description
After witnessing the accidental death of a stranger, Ruby seeks affirmation in the city around her, and finds it in surprising places. With deft humour and finely rendered detail, WHEN THE DAY BREAKS illuminates the links which connect our urban lives, while evoking the promise and fragility of a new day. Co-directors Wendy Tilby and Amanda Forbis use pencil and paint on photocopies to achieve a textured look suggestive of a lithograph or a flickering newsreel. In WHEN THE DAY BREAKS, the ordinary--a lemon, a toaster, a chance collision on a street corner--is endowed with a visceral power. Nominated for Best Animated Short Film at the **Academy Awards**. Winner of the Palme d'Or for Best Short Film at the **Cannes Film Festival**. Winner for Best Animation at the **SXSW Film Festival**.
