(EFA), United International Pictures (UIP) and the Tampere Film
Festival congratulate the winner of the
Prix UIP Tampere 2008
THE PEARCE SISTERS
by Luis Cook
UK 2007, 10 min, animation
THE PEARCE SISTERS is a tale of
love, loneliness, guts, gore, nudity, violence, smoking and cups of tea.
The statement of the
international jury describes the film as
“An intelligent and
wonderfully animated black comedy. Failing in their quest for human
contact, the sisters resort to macabre means to socialize. In a
grotesque way, this film is both touching and entertaining.”
