Already unlocked? for access

Be amazed! Fasten your seat belt and dive into 24 films in less than 60 minutes. Here is the Nordic-Baltic Competition program for Commissioned Films, including commercials, music videos, information films, identity work, and one or two exhibition pieces. In other words, all the fun the industry makes for a customer. A diverse, but very commercial program that the jury should have a tough job to judge and fun to watch for the rest of us.

The films are competing for the festival award for Best Commissioned Film.

A Future There is a short film directed and animated by Daria Volovyk and Charlotte Heyman where Daria tells her own story of how she had to leave her home when the war started in Ukraine and start a new life in Sweden.

The film is a legacy project of "Musikhjälpen", a charity event organized by Swedish radio and television each year. This year it took place in Gothenburg and the city, together with the youth council, wanted to enhance the theme of the project; the Convention on the Rights of the Child and in particular the right to be safe as a refugee.


Daria Volovyk is a young Ukrainian artist based in Sweden. As a student in Ukraine, she was involved in projects in film, music, and performance. A Future There is her first animated film.

Charlotte Heyman is an animation director based in Gothenburg, Sweden. Charlotte has worked with animation in different contexts, from computer games, documentaries, and exhibitions to performances and short films.
