Kali, the Little Vampire by director Regina Pessoa was awarded the Hiroshima award at the Hiroshima International Animation Film Festival, which took place from August 23rd to 27th and screened around 60 films.
This short premiered at IndieLisboa’12, where it received a Special Mention of the Pixel Bunker Award for Best Portuguese Short Film and was one of the winners of the RTP2 Onda Curta Award, is the last of a trilogy dedicated to the childhood theme, after The Night (1999) and Tragic Story with Happy Ending (2005).
According to Regina Kali is the story of a boy who dreams of a place in the sun, but it is in the shadow that he finds the light he searches for. This is the last chapter of a trilogy and the result of a reflection on the themes and aesthetics that have inspired me: childhood and its fears, difference, loneliness, light and shadow. In the background is reconciliation with childhood, accepting adulthood, no longer escaping our fears and being able to see them from another angle.
The film was coproduced by Portugal, France, Canada and Switzerland, has an original soundtrack by Young Gods and presents two narration versions: the international by Christopher Plummer and the Portuguese by the director Fernando Lopes.
