Flawed is a 2010 short animated documentary film and website by Halifax filmmaker Andrea Dorfman about body image, combining stop-motion animation and hand-painted images. Flawed was produced in Halifax by Annette Clarke for the National Film Board of Canada.[4]

According to Dorfman, the film was created to resemble a storyboard because it was based on a series of postcards that she has sent to a boyfriend while they were in a long-distance relationship. While Flawed is an autobiographical work, she also believes that it is universal because “I believe everyone has felt flawed at some point in their lives.”[5]

In July 2012, the film version of Flawed received a nomination in the category New Approaches to News and Documentary Programming: Documentaries at the 33rd annual News & Documentary Emmy Awards. The film was nominated following its August 23, 2011 premiere on the PBS series POV.[4][6]

The film’s awards also included an audience choice award at the New York City Short Film Festival.[7] Festival selections included a premiere at the 2010 Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival.[8]
