Well actually, he ‘went’ to Italy. After Cinekid in Amsterdam, Go short in Nijmegen & more, Manfred was screened at the 2011 Gifonni Film Festival in Italy, and I forgot all about it. I was proud to be screened there together with shorts from some of Holland’s best 2d animators, Frodo kuijpers & Joost Lieuwma. So if you were at the festival around that week, and visited the Short Link program, tell me how it was!
