For Socks Sake - Animation Short Film 2008 - GOBELINS

★ Cristal for Best Graduation Film, Annecy 2009; Best Student Film, Anima Mundi 2009; additional honors at Imagina, Animex and other festivals

A single sock breaks free of the clothesline for a night out, chasing music and motion through a stop-motion world built entirely from fabric. The short swept up prizes across a run of animation festivals in the year after it premiered.

Why it's free: Gobelins publishes its students' graduation films.
