More About the Film

In a world that demands community participation, individual desires inevitably collide. A group of neighbours, each focused on their own goals, must learn to communicate and consider one another. But when small, everyday actions trigger unexpected consequences, they are forced into interactions that challenge their independence.

Jenny Jokela (1990)  is a Finnish animation director and artist based in Edinburgh, UK. She earned an MA in Animation from the Royal College of Art, London, in 2017. Her films have received multiple awards, including the Annecy Cristal for Best Graduation Film in 2018 for Barbeque (2017). One of her notable projects is Hibernation, a hand-painted animated film performed live with a large ensemble across Europe, which premiered at the Centre Pompidou in Paris in June 2022. She has also directed the children's TV series Hoppsorna (YLE, Finland, 2018–2022) and Arne Alligator (SF Studios, Sweden, 2023). Her commercial clients include the BBC, Tate, Adult Swim, Coldplay, Channel 4, Disney, UEFA, and Vogue.
