The Blue Balloon (Le Ballon Bleu)
Narrative
Jury's Citation • 2024

Marina del Rey, CA, USA
“The Blue Balloon” is an homage to the 1956 classic French film “Le Ballon Rouge” (The Red Balloon). When a girl with a blue balloon crosses paths with a boy and his red balloon, it's clear a greater magical force is at play in the streets of Paris. Like the film it celebrates, this is a story about the magic of childhood and the importance of friendship. The film showcases many of the same Parisian locations as the 1956 classic French film.
