After drastically re-editing the film earlier this year, and a few more months of festival submissions, we are happy to announce that the festival premiere of AND WE WERE YOUNG will take place at the AnimaSyros Festival in Greece on September 23rd, as part of the Feature Film Competition.

Trailer for the feature length animated documentary And We Were Young: an animated oral history of American soldiers, ‘Doughboys’, in France in the last months of the Great War, narrated with the words of the men who survived and brought to life with paper figures and a Super 8 camera. Brutal and beautiful, Montana filmmaker Andy Smetanka's first feature film paints an unforgettable picture of the ‘war to end all wars’.
