Tuesday June 17th 2008TORONTO — Danish duo Thomas Glud and Lars Wass’ “Getting Out” (Vaek fra spajald), about a teenager’s shot at TV fame, won the C$5,000 ($4,880) audience award at the 14th Worldwide Short Film Festival on Sunday at the Canadian Film Center.
The 22-minute comedy, which world preemed at WSFF, was chosen from the fest’s 268 films.
Canadian Film Center alum Sarah Galea-Davis picked up the Canadian short prize and $9,770 for “Can You Wave Bye-Bye?,” about a single woman suffering postpartum depression, while fellow alum Audrey Cummings won for emerging Canadian filmmaker and $4,880 for her mother-daughter drama “Burgeon and Fade.”
Animated short winner “Board Attack” gained Canadian filmmaker Jay White the same amount and eligibility for the Oscar shorts category.
