And the winner is... Odio by Adriano Vessichelli (University of the Arts London, Central Saint Martins, Engeland), a depiction of social exclusion inspired by The Tempest by William Shakespeare. The international competition for web animations (five minutes max) took place on HAFFTube, supported by YouTube. The competition started in February. The first ten days, around five films a day were uploaded. Gradually, HAFFTube filled with animation films from all over the world, surprisingly including a lot of new work. The limit for the number of films was set at fifty. When this number was reached, HAFF removed a few films every day to make room for new entries. The deadline was set at 8 March. Subsequently, a jury consisting of filmmakers whose films were selected for the shorts competition took over and appointed a winner from the remaining shortlist.
