Gints Zilbalodis’ Flow is generating excitement as one of 2024's most anticipated animated films. Set in a post-apocalyptic, waterlogged world, the movie follows a brave cat and a diverse group of animals— including a capybara, lemur, bird, and dog—on a journey to find dry land. After a flood devastates their home, they must rely on teamwork and courage to survive.
The trailer has drawn attention for its stunning animation and emotional depth, with critics noting the film’s absence of dialogue yet rich, complex storytelling. Flow explores themes of environmental fragility, community, and survival, all delivered through captivating visuals and serene pacing. Many have compared its immersive landscapes to the works of Studio Ghibli, yet it stands out with its raw portrayal of survival instincts and personal transformation.
Winning both the Jury and Audience awards at the 2024 Annecy International Animation Film Festival, Flow is widely praised for its artistry, and it’s already a strong contender for awards, including the Best International Feature Film at the Oscars. The film, created with Blender’s open-source software, showcases Zilbalodis’ signature style, previously seen in Away (2019), and highlights his unique approach to animation. Flow is set for release on November 22, 2024, and is sure to captivate audiences with its visually enchanting, emotional storytelling.
