44 Animation Shorts for Turku Animated Film Festival 2022

Turku Animation Film Festival (Artistic director: Joni Männistö, Producer: Anna Jauhola) announced its results for its 7th edition. 44 films from 23 different countries were selected for its international competitions; 9 Finnish animation shorts will compete in the National Competition, and 18 films will participate in the TAFF Junior section.

The Oscar-nominated 'Bestia' by Hugo Covarrubias is there; Atsushi Wada's latest (and Berlinale-premiered) 'Bird in the Peninsula' competes, along with a host of other films and names (Leonid Shmelkov, Yoriko Mizushiri, Tal Kantor among them).

9 films compete in the festival's National (Finnish) competition, including the puppet film 'All My Mom’s Phone Calls' (dir. Iiti Yli-Harja) and Mika Koskinen's (Espresso Doppio) new film, 'Letters to Parkkimäentie'.

Different techniques are smoothly combined with each other in several films and these decisions are specifically made to serve the story. They make the finished film stronger and more interesting - Joni Männistö
