Bulgarian animation artist and film director Theodore Ushev has won the Cristal award for short film with his short animated movie "The Physics of Sorrow", the website of the International Animated Film Festival in Annecy, France, announces.
"In every profession there is one award, or achievement, which marks a kind of peak. Climbers have their famous highest peak, writers, mathematicians, physicists have their Nobel, journalists - their Pulitzer, etc. In animation, this peak is the Grand Prize of the Annecy Festival. Or just the Annecy Cristal. This is our Everest. Thank you!” 
This is what Theodore Ushev wrote on Facebook, announcing that the film also received the FIPRESCI International Critics Award.
