Being the leader of an international animation festival is by far the cooles thing I've done in my student periode. Together with my amazing crew we managed to plan, organise, finance and host the annual Animation Volda Festival! We had 70 volunteers and probably over 200 people attending the festival. 

​

The amazing guests:

Tonje Skar Reiersen - Producer at Mikrofilm
Staffan Linder - VFX artist at Goodbye Kansas

Heikki Kossi - Foley Artist at H5 film sound

Celia Kaspar - Freelance character designer

Christian Bøving-Andersen and Birk von Brockdorff- creators behind "Ivandoe"

Agustin Valcarenghi and Pablo Gostanian - Executive and creative directors of 2Veinte. 

​

We had some amazing filmprograms, you can se some clips in the trailer at the bottom of this page. We had four shortfilm programs, with 46 filmes in total. We recieved 800 films from over 90 different countries.
