Nude Triumphant will compete in the 2020/21 edition of This Is England, the annual French festival celebrating British cinema. We are included in the Animation category alongside ten other excellent films.

Please note: this festival combines the 2020 and 2021 editions into one event due to the impact of the Covid-19 lockdown on the original dates for the 2020 event.

This Is England offers a selection of short films of all genres, showcasing the work of emerging filmmakers as well as more renowned auteurs. In order to accomplish its main goal which is to help and support young artists in their creative work, This is England asks a jury of professionals to reward the best shorts among a single competitive selection of fictions, animated films and documentaries. In addition to screenings and talks, the festival also organises concerts, plays and special Q&As for students.

Created in 2012 by the Rouen-Norwich Club, This is England is proud to build on the strong relationship between Normandy and the United Kingdom with an important event for cinema lovers. Since its first edition, the festival has screened nearly 300 films, invited their directors, producers or writers to attend and meet the audience and has offered almost 20 000€ to awardees. The ever-growing audience reached a new high during the last edition with nearly 6 600 spectators attending.
