Fish River Anthology, an animated short by Veera Lamminpää, is screening in the European Short Film Audience Award section. It is Lamminpää’s thesis film for Aalto University. The film has won the Finnish Jussi Film Award for Best Short last year, and Lamminpää was also selected to the Future Frames programme at Karlovy Vary International Film Festival last summer.
Lamminpää’s next film, which received production support in December, is presented at Euro Connection, the short film co-production forum. Odd Birds is produced by Janne J. Vanhanen and Jenni Pulli for Rata Motion. The surrealist musical sees taxidermied birds burst into song in school cabinets.
Finnish Film Foundation is in town under The Five Nordics’ umbrella. International Promotion Advisor Otto Suuronen will take meetings with festivals and distributors during the market.
