Some programmes have a link with the festival as such. In HAFF Awards: Replay, the award-winning gems of the 2006 and 2008 Holland Animation Film Festivals are reviewed. Winning commission films, music videos and commercials: too good to forget. Flashy, state of the art and sometimes very funny. The Grand Prix winners of the 2008 shorts competition were given carte blanche as curators for the Winners Programmes of the 2009 HAFF. Blu (Italy) won the Grand Prix for non-narrative films with his layered, surreal film Muto, featuring murals on public walls. Priit & Olga Pärn-Marchenko (Estonia) won the Grand Prix for narrative films with Life without Gabriella Ferri, in which a thief with an irresistible touch appears in a locked apartment. International sections featuring films by the jury members of this year’s competitions bear witness to the diversity of the juries and the animation medium. Presenting films by Alexey Alexeev, Dominic Buttimore, Isabelle Favez, Osbert Parker, Fons Schiedon, Michiel Snijders and Anna Solanas.
