36 films have been selected and will be shown in the programme of the Nordic-Baltic Competition: Commissioned Film. They are competing for the Golden Gunnar for best-commissioned film. The program includes commercials, music videos, title sequences, games trailers and informational films that represent what has been produced by Nordic-Baltic animators and filmmakers for clients.
Director's Note:
The programme consists of films from Norway, Denmark, the Netherlands, Sweden and Estonia. This year’s call of entries received a record number of submissions which has led to a high-quality programme. The programme is as varied as the films and shows an enormous creative joy in the Nordic-Baltic animation environment. The audience should prepare themselves for a fast-paced programme, with the average length of each film being less than two minutes.

MIKE&PAYNE are a directing duo who aren’t limited by the medium or platform. Working across 3D and 2D animation as well as live-action, their work is driven by a fascination with sci-fi, anime, and cinematic storytelling. They have a meticulous eye for detail and take great pleasure in creating explosive visuals - bringing characters to life that do incredible things in impossible worlds. They don’t shy away from darkness and inject visceral energy into everything they do.
