Norwegian animation “Pesta,” directed by Hanne Berkaak, will head to the Frontières Platform in May. Directed at genre film professionals, the event is organized by the Fantasia International Film Festival with the Cannes’ Marché du Film.
“She was depicted as an old woman travelling from farm to farm, carrying a rake and a broom. Where she used her rake, some would survive. Where she swept her broom, everyone would die. Dark stuff,” said producer Tonje Skar Reiersen. “I actually got this idea during the pandemic. Today, young people are fearing the end of the world once again, because of climate change and the war. Still, I want to encourage them to seek beauty and love,” said Berkaak.
Which is why “Pesta” will be directed at a more mature audience, although its portrayal of a young couple falling in love is bound to add some levity too. While the film will have a 2D look, the team will make use of 3D tools to ensure a “dynamic” visual language and make it feel relevant, Berkaak assured, recalling the directors who have inspired her over the years, starting with Yuri Norstein, Jan Švankmajer and Zlatko Grgić.
