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
