  • Sean Alexander Carney

    My film โ€œRemembering Nearfieldโ€, which raises awareness about electrohypersensitivity (EHS) as a disability has won in the category of "Best Animated Film" in GIFFโ€™s 9th Season. Itโ€™s a valuable achievement to win, but also to bring awareness through my film. Itโ€™s been an honour to take part in GIFF and to know the project may also be screened. That would be amazing and help inform others about the disability. Iโ€™ve had a great experience taking part in the event and Iโ€™m so grateful to the team for their kind and clear communications throughout. I fully recommend this festival.
