At the 97th Academy Awards, the underdog animated feature Flow triumphed over major contenders, marking Latvia's first Oscar win and highlighting the capabilities of open-source animation software, Blender. The film tells a visually striking, dialogue-free story of survival in a flooded world through the adventures of a diverse cast. Its win continues a trend of diverse animation successes, following Guillermo del Toro's and Hayao Miyazaki's recent wins. Flow's artistic appeal and unique execution, achieved by a small team using Blender, signal a new era in animation creativity.
Flow's win not only represents Latvia's first Oscar but also showcases the potential of open-source tools in professional animation.
With no dialogue, Flow communicates its narrative through a unique artistic style, making it a peaceful yet impactful post-apocalyptic tale.
