The Ukrainian animated film Deep Love by Mykyta Lyskov has been awarded the Golden Dove in the Next Masters Competition Short Documentary and Animated Film at the 62nd DOK Leipzig Film Festival, which took place on October 28-3 November.

The press service of the Ukrainian State Film Agency reported this.

“The jury noted the skill of the director to combine specific local references with complete accessibility for everyone, his allegorical understanding of human experience where symbols and music combine as in a circus,” reads the report.

The animated film Deep Love participated in more than 20 international festivals in Ukraine and abroad and won some awards. Its world premiere took place during the Annecy International Animated Film Festival (France).
