’Titina’: first trailer for Norwegian feature animation (exclusive)

Upcoming Norwegian animation feature ’Titina’ is inspired by the real-life story of a fox terrier that accompanied her master on a 1920s expedition to the North Pole in an air balloon. The € production is the debut feature-length debut of Norwegian animator Kajsa Næss, whose award-winning short credits over a 20-year career include ’Deconstruction Workers’ and ’It’s Up To You’. It is lead produced by Oslo-based production house Mikrofilm in co-production with Belgium’s Vivi Film. Both companies have Oscar track records. Mikrofilm clinched a nomination for the short 2015 work ’Me And My Moulton’. Vivi Film was a partner on 2003 best feature animation nominee ’The Triplets of Belleville’, and also later took credits on ’The Secret Of Kells’. Paris-based Films du Losange, which handles international sales, is teasing the freshly completed trailer at Cannes’ Marché du Film this week.
