Northern Lights 3

When thinking of Scandinavian and Finnish animation, we immediately remember several subtle and intelligent features for children, while diversity and innovation spring to mind when thinking of their short films. Artists from the North tend to be realistic and meet you head-on, they are interested in social issues and eye-witness accounts, and they like to share their opinions. When they laugh, it's loud and clear and women have a place in the art form too. Confirmed talents like Anita Kili, Niki von Bahr, Odell and Sapegin rub shoulders with up-and-coming filmmakers in this programme. And, along with their personal styles, they all have something explicit to say. Flagey, Folioscope € 8 > € 7
