Judges’ comments
A very witty, back and white fantasy, deftly edited. Makes you laugh out loud and then cruelly darkens again like all good fairy tales. – Tim McInnerny
An enjoyably well-executed film. Always satisfying to see a more conceptual short that avoids becoming too “one-note”. The cigarette-packet device was simple and well realised. Such a simple device in fact, that I felt like it might have successfully begun with that and unfolded from there without the set-up of the first few minutes. – Jim Field Smith
