The Painter and the Thief

Benjamin Ree

Barbora Kysilkova, Karl-Bertil Nordland

When two of artist Barbora Kysilkova’s most valuable paintings are stolen from a gallery at Frogner in Oslo, the police are able to find the thief after a few days, but the paintings are nowhere to be found. Barbora goes to the trial in hopes of finding clues, but instead she ends up asking the thief if she can paint a portrait of him. This will be the start of a very unusual friendship. Over three years, the cinematic documentary follows the incredible story of the artist looking for her stolen paintings, while at the same time turning the thief into art.

Mr. Jones

Øystein Stene

Mr. Jones is a not very successful adventurer that probably stole his name from his big ideal, Indiana Jones. Every time he seeks an adventure, he messes it all up, and the whole trip turns out to be an absurd event. Mr Jones is a trilogy of not very pedagogic short animation films for children.
