Below you can see the shiny Hermína Týrlová Award, we won at the Zlin festival in Czech Republic. It's sorta looks like a magic crystal ball, except you can't predict the future with it, but when you place it in the bowl, you can spin it around and it keeps spinning for a real long time, which is awesome.

If you're in the neighborhood, we hope you'll be able to make it to the screening.
