ANNOUNCEMENT: OPENING FILM FESTIVAL

🎬 We are proud to annouce that the Kaboom Animation Festival 2024 opening film is...🎬

Chicken for Linda!

directed by Chiara Malta and Sébastien Laudenbach

We all know that apologies are best served in the form of a good meal...

Linda is unfairly punished by her mother, Paulette, who will do anything to make it up to her. Even a chicken with peppers when she is no Gordon Ramsay. Paulette absolutely wants to cook that chicken that reminds Linda of her late father, but there is a strike that leads to a lot of complications...

Crowned with 8 prestigious awards and 6 nominations, Chicken for Linda! is a chaotic rollercoaster for the whole family. It shows the joyous whirlwind of childhood, the wonderous embrace of a mother-daughter bond and how one can find a renewed zest for life.

🤍REVIEWS AND QUOTES 🤍

“A sensitively-handled story about processing the loss of a loved one”

– SCREENDAILY

“A wave of optimistic revolt against the constraints of the established order sweeps everything up in its path in this incredibly dynamic tale, set amidst gentle and suggestive graphics.”

– CINEMA EUROPE

“Luckily, there’s a perfect balance between zany playfulness and some deeper underlining message about death and parenting.”
