In collaboration with the best wine and sake bar in Fredrikstad, the festival presents a selection of the best abstract and non-figurative animated films from the international animation scene. Hoipolloi opened in 2019 and quickly became a natural partner for the festival.


Director's Note:


The program consists of six films from Japan, Finland, Hungary, Austria, Germany, and the USA and proves that you do not need a narrative to create a good animated film. The films are repetitive and meditative, where the visual expression is at the centre of the experience, often with a strongly present soundscape.


Age limit: 18

The catastrophe is tirelessly repeated in Hollywood cinema. The genre of the disaster movie hints at the collective psyche of the respective historical epochs. The perspective of a postmodern longing for moments of spectacular destruction, which briefly interrupts the dull monotony in late-capitalist consumerism, shows how contradictory postmodern pop culture is.
