Beloved music icon, Brit Award winner, Grammy nominee and now … award-winning film director.
Kate Bush has set out her stalls as a filmmaker by winning a prize for her directorial debut.
The “Wuthering Heights” legend won the animation award on Thursday for her anti-war short film “Little Shrew” at the Carmarthen Bay Film Festival in Wales, which also happens to be a BAFTA-qualifying event.
The film — inspired by the war in Ukraine — is set to Bush’s song “Snowflake” from her 2011 album “Fifty Words for Snow” and features a small mammal searching for hope as she makes her way across a bombed-out city.
“How wonderful! ‘Little Shrew’ is incredibly excited that she’s been awarded such a huge honour,” said Bush. “Thank you so very much from her, myself and all the team. We are over the moon!”
