Tomm Moore – director – Song of the Sea

FRED’s Gozalo Suarez interviewed Tomm Moore, the director of Song of the Sea, which was screened at the 8th edition of Fest Anca International Animation Festival in Zilina, Slovakia.

Tomm Moore went to the 8th edition of the animated film festival of Zilina – Fest Anca – to preside the jury of its international competition, hold a conference on how Cartoon Saloon and its partners made his new Oscar-nominee title Song of the Sea and present the two feature films he has directed to date.

SONG OF THE SEA: Saoirse is a child who is the last of the selkies, women in Irish and Scottish legends who transform from seals into people. She escapes from her grandmother’s home to journey to the sea and free fairy creatures trapped in the modern world.

After The Secret of Kells, Tomm Moore directed another traditionally animated gem to vie for the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature.
