The Japanese animated film “ChaO” has won the second-place award at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival in southeastern France.
The film directed by Aoki Yasuhiro was honored with the Jury Award in the feature films division on Saturday.
The Annecy festival is one of the world’s largest anime festivals. It attracts filmmakers from across the world to compete for the top prize, the Cristal Award, in separate categories, including the feature films and short films divisions.
ChaO depicts a future society where humans and mermaids coexist. It is a love story involving a regular office worker and Princess Chao from the mermaid kingdom.
The Paul Grimault Award in the feature films category went to “Dandelion’s Odyssey,” directed by Japanese-born Seto Momoko. She is now based in France and elsewhere.
A French film, Arco, won this year’s Cristal for a Feature Film.
In 2017, Japanese films “Lu Over the Wall” directed by Yuasa Masaki and “In This Corner of the World” by Katabuchi Sunao won the top two awards in the feature films division.
