Hi everyone! Finally back after a horrid time stuck in Amsterdam airport :p But I have been looking forward to showing you this film for a while.
Coming from Viborg Denmark, Nørlum, a young animation company made this fabulous film"Dog in Heaven" together with Basmati films and with support from Danish Film Institute, Vest Danish film fund, Anis, and Animation Workshop.
Director Jeanette Nørgaard had this to say about the film:"My ambition with ’Dog in Heaven’ is to give a young audience a full film experience. I’m not compromising the grave aspects of the story in order to spare the kids, nor either the stylized universe.
The story evolves around the main character, Lora, and her grief from the loss of her beloved companion, Dog. The heavy subject gets a lift up when Lora turns into a dog as a protest against the monastery’s rules."
It is currently touring the festival circuit right now so perhaps you can get to see it at Annecy this year.
Make sure to check out Nørlum's website (noerlum.com) as they do some interesting things and Ellen Riis at Basmati films (basmatifilm.dk)is such a generous person so please send her short films projects.
