FAF is thrilled to announce that the 2023 edition of the festival is just around the corner, and we can’t wait to share all the amazing details with you. We’re kicking off the season with a fantastic trailer by the incredibly talented local animator, Konrad Hjemli. The trailer is set to drop in June, but we’ve got a little sneak peek to tide you over until then. Konrad Hjemli is a rising star in the animation world, having studied at Volda University College from 2017 to 2022. He co-directed the FAF Audience Award-winning short, The Harbourmaster, which is already generating buzz and set to screen at Grimstad Short Film Festival and the prestigious Annecy Animation Festival this summer. And that’s not all – Konrad also co-directed the mind-blowing short PANDICULATION, which took home the Best Norwegian Animation Film award at the Reanima Bergen International Animation Festival and the Special Jury Prize at the Big Cartoon Festival in Moscow. Thilo Goluza joins Konrad on this project as the composer and sound designer. We can’t wait to see what Konrad has in store for us with the FAF 2023 trailer. Stay tuned for more updates and get ready for an unforgettable festival experience!
