Cut Out Festival of Animation and Digital Art, Mexico
Jury’s Special Award in Japan
New Chitose Airport International Animation Festival
Theme and style are ultimately connected. The technique and color used in this work bring us to feel a tension in addition to silent solitude and loneliness. The work is filled with poetic beauty.

New Chitose Airport International Animation Festival, Japan
Silver Hugo for Airport
Chicago International Film Festival
Great art can make you feel like you are living an experience. Watching Airport gave us all the sensation we were in that space. A film that takes us to a place we don’t want to go in the most kinetic, sensual way possible. An ominous, topical film that is never heavy-handed.
Jury commendation, 53rd Chicago International Film Festival

AIRPORT awarded Jury Distinction
Taichung International Animation Festival October 2017
The director was inspired by a real situation that took place in the airport, then turned it into cinema language with artful craft. Through precise images, motions and music, the work expresses the unsettling status and uncertainty to survive in the contemporary world.

Airport awarded at Animafest Zagreb
Special Mention for Best Croatian Minority Co-Production
Airport by Michaela Müller is a film that brings you right in the middle of the action. A film that shows an intimate but also general experience. A film that we can get lost in as we can get lost in real life, it is chaotic, narrowing, in advance determined by the rules. Strong in metaphor, with a great contrast of colors, fluidity of motion, transitions and transformation. It’s a film that is like a dream of the actual place it talks about.
