Four films from Bonobostudio distribution roster will be screened in its programs, with one of them, Thanks, You Too by Marion Täschler, having its world premiere at the festival:
● Thanks, You Too by Marion Täschler is a Virage Film production with a story about two strange birds, an owl and the oystercatcher, having a long dinner filled with awkward moments and unbearable silence.
● Dollhouse Elephant by Jenny Jokela is a Böhle Studios production and winner of Annecy 2025 SACEM Award for Best Original Soundtrack (composed by Sebastian Hilli). The film is a dark comedic societal commentary following the lives of a group of neighbours sharing a building.
● Caries by Aline Höchli is a KOLOSS and Holaus Animation production that premiered at Sundance Film Festival with Special Mention from Athens International Film and Video Festival. The film is a portrait of a shaman eager to create a monumental work of art, who remains blissfully unaware that she is painting her murals inside the mouth of a vain weather presenter.
● Fačuk by Maida Srabović is a TETRABOT, URGH!, Octopics and RTV Slovenija production, screening at Fantoche IAF after competing at this year's Animafest Zagreb and Annecy. The film was inspired by the artworks of Mijo Kovačić, a Croatian painter and Naïve artist, and takes place in a God-fearing village where giving birth to a so-called fačuk (an illegitimate child) is a mortal sin.
We are very much looking forward to this one!
