(Oakville, Ontario) Lily Sun, who graduated (June 2010) from the Bachelor of
Applied Arts – Animation program at Sheridan, was named winner of the
Best Animated Film category at the Student Film Showcase organized by the Toronto
International Film Festival Group. Sun’s film, Sketchi, was one of three
Sheridan student films nominated for an award this year.
The TIFF Student Film Showcase took place last month in Toronto. A total of
11 films from schools across Canada were in competition for two awards –
best live action film and best animated film. The other Sheridan finalists were
Mark Andrew Bone for Escarpment Surfers, and Martin Sokol for Eggcellent.
This is the fifth straight year that a Sheridan student has scooped a top award
at the Showcase (previous winners include 2006: Nev Bezaire's A Trip to the
Doctor, Best Film; 2007: Trevor Jimenez's Key Lime Pie, Best Cinematography;
2008: Vladimir Kooperman’s C-Block, Best Animated Film; and 2009: Yuriy
Sivers, Humpty Dumpty is Scrambled, Best Animated Film).
The Student Film Showcase, a presentation of the Toronto International Film
Festival Group (TIFFG) with the participation of the Film School Consortium,
is an annual event showcasing the finest student films from universities and
colleges across the country. Established in 2004, the Showcase has presented
a diverse and exciting range of student work including animation, documentary,
fiction and experimental films that represent the burgeoning talent of Canada's
future generation of filmmakers.
Each year, the program of student films is chosen by TIFFG programmers. A jury
comprised of film industry professionals selects the award-winning works.
