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

In their new work The Eternal, chaos animators Pink Twins distort the views of gardens with a crystal-like caleidoscopic tunnel, adding a psychedelic layer to ancient harmonic panoramas.

Pink Twins is a duo of visual artists and electronic musicians, brothers Juha (b. 1978) and Vesa Vehviläinen (b. 1974), based in Helsinki, Finland. Active as Pink Twins since 1997, their videos work on the crossing of visual art and music. Live, Pink Twins deliver improvised digital soundscapes, often combined with video screenings. Pink Twins have shown their works in exhibitions and festivals on all continents and performed audiovisual live shows around the world.
