Jonas Geirnaert

Jonas Geirnaert studied animation at the KASK in Ghent. In May 2004, he won the Short Film Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival with his animated short Flatlife. The first minute of the film was the only portion with sound because it was a student project that was unfinished at the time of the selection entry deadline. Although Flatlife has no political message, Jonas' previous movie, The All-American Alphabet, clearly has one.
