Every Child
Directed by Eugene Fedorenko
Produced by ONF | NFB
A whimsical yet poignant animated fable about an abandoned child's journey through multiple homes, balancing playful charm with a serious message about children's rights and belonging.
This animated short follows an unwanted baby who is passed from house to house. The film is the Canadian contribution to an hour-long feature film celebrating UNESCO's Year of the Child (1979). It illustrates one of the ten principles of the Declaration of Children's Rights: every child is entitled to a name and a nationality. The film took home an Oscar® for Best Animated Short Film.
