Flow, a dialogue-free animated film from Latvia, has made history by winning the Oscar for Best Animated Feature. Directed by Gints Zilbalodis, this film tells the story of a cat's journey to find safety after a devastating flood, having premiered at Cannes. It faced competition from prominent films like Inside Out 2. Alongside its Oscar win, it has grossed $20 million worldwide and received the Golden Globe for Best Animated Film earlier this year. Zilbalodis emphasized themes of unity and hope in his acceptance speech, reflecting Latvia's rising confidence.
It is the first Latvian film to ever be nominated for an Oscar.
