December 5, 2024

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Coming off a successful festival run, Nir Yaniv and Lavie Tidhar’s gentle fable The Radio is now available on YouTube. Abandoned in a garden, a lonely radio tries to connect with the visiting animals and flowers who pass through before finally finding a friend, in this musical animation for children of all ages.

The creative team has been behind recent animation projects Loontown, Mars Machines, and Welcome To Your A.I. Future (all 2023) under their Positronish Productions label, and are currently in pre-production on animated sci-fi movie Io.

The Radio was screened around the world at festivals in Singapore, Bulgaria, Finland, Los Angeles, Texas and Atlanta and was nominated for a HEFFI Award for Best Animation and for an Independent Shorts Award.
