12 student projects have found their way to the 2023 edition of FAF competition program. Films from Denmark, Estonia, Sweden and Norway represent the new talent from the north. The 2023 student film program bears mark from the pandemic period, with strong personal films where the filmmaker shows an incredible effort to manage a complex production on their bare shoulders. The student shows an unique diversity of approaches and techniques in animation. From art to crafts, the films vary as the animation scene itself. The student films in the Nordic-Baltic competition program are competing for the festival's awards for best student film, Grand Prix and the audience award.
Age limit: 12
If the rain were to fall indoors, but never outdoors, where do we begin to look for shelter?
Milly Yencken (b.1993, Australia). Studied for a B.FA. in painting in Tasmania and a diploma in classical animation in Vancouver. She is currently completing her M.A. in Animation at the Estonian Academy of Arts. Painting is at the center of her practice, yet she uses the animated image to both deconstruct and expand upon new ways to apply paint and what a painting can come to mean when you stay inside a concept for a long duration of time. Yencken creates work that is surrealist and darkly whimsical. Her long-term artistic goal is to produce paintings paired with animation, that can create a richly internalized world, to which the viewer is invited into.
