Oscar Nominee Throws Animated Darts

Oscar-nominee Alexei Kharitidi chose Flash to animate his latest short Darts In The Snow. While filled with funny beats, Kharitidi’s 60-second film suggests a deeper moral message about the vicious circle of violence.

Kharitidi’s film Gagarin (below) was nominated for an Academy Award in 1996, which was won by Nick Park’s A Close Shave. However, Kharitidi took home the Palme d’Or (Golden Palm) for Best Short Film at the 1995 Cannes Film Festival.

Kharitidi is currently working as a Flash Animator at Sardine Productions.
