Light House Cinema is No. 1 for Flow
We are delighted to announce that Light House was the top performing site for the opening weekend of Gints Zilbalodis' FLOW.
This film, an independent film in the truest sense, made by a small team on a free software, has come a very long way. This dialogue-free animation has had an excellent opening weekend following a very successful awards campaign which culminated in an Academy Award.
Wunderkind director Gints Zilbalodis has taken the animation world by storm with his beautifully crafted sophomore feature Flow, which has received a multitude of awards and nominations to date, including two nominations for both BAFTA and the Academy Awards.
The mystical world he creates in Flow is in peril. There are traces of human inhabitants, but they are now nowhere to be seen as water begins to flood the landscape. The story begins following a small, solitary cat as the shoreline rises and the home where it once lived is submerged underwater. Forced to flee, he happens upon a refuge boat containing a calm and unperturbed capybara who seems amenable to his presence, and the two begin a journey on the water towards higher ground. Along the way they cross paths with a lemur, obsessed with collecting shiny objects, a boisterous and excitable dog and a stoic, mysterious secretary bird. Together, as they traverse the landscape on their fable-like quest, the ragtag team of animals must learn to trust each other and work together to survive.
We are delighted to support daring, innovative filmmaking and look forward to seeing what Gints and his team have in store next.
