RATING: ALL AGES
Founded over twenty years ago in Oslo, Norway, the animation studio, Mikrofilm is a group of filmmakers that create love-letters to the unique perspectives in each of their stories. Whether it’s the frustrated titular character in Oscar-winning The Danish Poet, the tenacious runner in The Marathon Diaries, or the contemplative narrator in Oscar-nominated Me and My Moulton; each is treated with a playful sincerity that extends to, and embraces, the audience. It’s enthralling to watch one of their animated works; the worlds they create are dynamic, specific and not a single one of their beautiful frames are wasted (to a point where repeat viewings will reveal moments you may have missed- a kind of visual mischief that leaves the viewer in delight and awe).
–Matthew Corluka
It’s summer, but the rain is pouring down. Little Mathilde is bored. Had it been winter, it would be snowing instead. Mathilde loves skiing, and wants to go on winter holiday right away. Luckily she has two imaginary friends! Morningbird and Murmelton are tiny enough to go on winter holiday in the freezer. It turns into quite an adventure.
