Meet the Filmmakers: Short Film - Fredrikstad Animation Festival

Meet the Filmmakers: Short Film

Meet the filmmakers behind the films in the festival’s competition program for Nordic-Baltic short films and get answers to your questions. In a question-and-answer session, you can ask the questions you’ve been wondering, get more information about the films directly from the people who made them and gain insight into the ideas, processes, and techniques behind the films. It all takes place in a relaxed atmosphere at St. Croix house, where the filmmakers are interviewed by preselection jury member, Nancy Denney-Phelps.
