MayFly Vienna 

A day in the life of a Mayfly touring around Vienna. 

Maybe Elephants

In the ’70s, three rebellious teenage daughters, a restless mother, a father struggling with potatoes, and maybe some elephants, find themselves in bustling Nairobi. The family will never be the same.  Created by Oscar®-winning animator Torill Kove (The Danish Poet), Maybe Elephants is a playful and loving autobiographical homage to family, adolescence and the therapeutic power of memories, however unreliable. 

Dead weight

Three men, on their way in a descending balloon over an icy sea, must get rid of weight. After a vote, the two men throw the third man out of the basket to reduce weight, intent on saving their lives. The victim, initially strongly opposed to the solution, clings to a long line below the balloon. He refuses to let go. 

The Rip

Eight-year-old Nåmi's greatest wish to get a Gamagutchi for Christmas has just come true. This Christmas is absolutely perfect. Apart from Nåmi's father who is in a coma, her mother whispering on the phone and the vegetables in her soup accusing her of murder. It was Nåmi's cold that got into his brain. To avoid her own feelings of guilt, Nåmi becomes obsessed with keeping her Gamagutchi alive. 

The Lovers

Wander to Wonder

Mary, Billybud and Fumbleton are three miniature, human actors who perform in an eighties kids TV series called “Wander to Wonder”.
