Seven films have been selected for Nordic-Baltic Competition: Children's Film and will compete for the festival's award, the Golden Gunnar, for best children's film and audience award. The children's film programme is dedicated to artistic work for children and shows the best productions made for the youngest of us. This year’s jury consists of Aurora Nøkleby, Martin Gottfredsen and Patrick Ydse Bjørnnes.
Director's Note:
The programme consists of films from Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark, Lithuania, and Latvia. The filmmakers show a genuine joy of storytelling by creating good, animated films for children. The films show great variety in animation techniques with a strong professional approach, at challenge perspectives for children.
