Animalis Fabula Film Festival Official Selection Aurora March 2021
Once upon a time, there was a little girl who fell in love with a beautiful horse named Aurora...
​
Expressively animated in a naive drawing-style that evokes children’s drawings and the texture of storybook illustrations, Aurora is a bittersweet story about love, friendship, and growing up.

Animalis Fabula Film Festival Official Selection Aurora March 2021
AniFab judge's aggregate score for Aurora is 9.7 with one judge noting, "Thank you, we are so blessed to be able to share Aurora with our audience.  I was captivated from the first note.  I felt happy, then sad, then happy, then even more happy.  In director Jo Meuris's case It is truly a gift for her to so effortlessly pull someone's emotions too and fro with a simple animated story about a girl and her horse friends.  I was crying in joy in 4 minutes flat,  We are looking forward to sharing Aurora, what a treat everyone is going to get!
