Liselotte Wajstedt

A Swedish Sámi screenwriter and director.

LISELOTTE WAJSTEDT Liselotte Wajstedt, born 1973 in Kiruna, lives and works in Stockholm, mainly as a director and screenwriter. She also work with art installations including visual art. In her extensive work with experimental moving images, she explores both aesthetics and politics with recurring themes such as heritage, abuse and identity.

Born on September 15, 1973, in the Jukkasjärvi parish of Kiruna, she is a Swedish Northern Sámi film director and artist, primarily known for her documentary films. Her documentary The Silence of Sápmi, which aired on Swedish television, was nominated for the Human Award.

She grew up in Kiruna and has been engaged in artistic and creative activities since her early teens. She is the daughter of artist Jan Veišteit and has Sámi cultural roots through her mother, who resides in Nedre Soppero. In 1991, at the age of 17, she dropped out of high school to pursue a career as an artist and left Kiruna. After moving to southern Sweden, she studied at several independent art schools, later studying film at Gotland University and fine arts at the Royal Institute of Art.

In 2007, she released her first feature-length documentary, Sami Nieida Jojk. Described as a “Sámi-language road movie,” the film blends documentary storytelling with imaginative animation and music editing. It explores Sámi identity and questions who has the right to call themselves Sámi, while also following her personal journey in search of her lost Sámi identity. The documentary aired on Swedish Television (SVT) and Folkets Bio.

Her next feature-length documentary, Kiruna – Rymdvagen (2013), focused on the ongoing urban destruction in Kiruna. The film takes place in her childhood home in the Ullspiran district—one of the LKAB-owned buildings scheduled for demolition. Using a film camera, she captures memorable places and events in the city, raising questions about what will happen to Kiruna as the demolition progresses.

She is a cousin of Sámi writer Ann-Helén Laestadius and currently resides in Stockholm.

Elli Vuorinen is an animation artist who lives and works in rural Finland. Her works often strike a balance between surreal, symbolic, and playful. While her approach is often humorous, her films explore significant themes such as melancholy, humanity, and social structures.

Elli’s approach to filmmaking is versatile – blending digital and handcrafted in the intermediate terrain of fine arts and animation industry. She likes to experiment with the form and structure of narrative and storytelling. Different animation techniques also inspire her. Vuorinen’s farm studio allows her to work with everything between large scale stop motion, multichannel installations and drawn animation.

She works in a causal rhythm, where each new work is a reaction to the previous one, always taking a different direction. This constant curiosity and search for new methods, learning new skills and ways to express herself is in the center of her art practice.

She graduated from Turku Arts Academy where she now works as a senior lecturer in animation. She also runs a small production company Böhle Studios with her husband. The company produces short animations from talented auteurs.

Her six previous animated short films have won numerous awards in festivals such as Animafest Zagreb, Tampere, Fantoche, Chitose, Fredrikstad, Busho Budapest and Fest Anca.

In her free time, Elli likes to hike, cook and play with her daughter.

Anita Killi

Animator, Director, Screenwriter, CEO

From 1988 to 1990, she studied illustration and graphic design at the Norwegian National College of Art and Design, then pursued animation and documentary filmmaking at Volda University College. In 1996, she graduated from the Oslo National Academy of the Arts with a degree equivalent to a master’s, specializing in animation (multiplane technique).

She founded and runs her own animation studio, Trollfilm, in Dovre, Norway. She is known for directing and writing several award-winning short films, including The Hedge of Thorns (2001) and Angry Man (2009), the latter being the most awarded film in the world in 2010. In May 2020, she completed a new short film, Mother Didn’t Know, which has been making its way through the festival circuit.

Passionate about bringing difficult themes to the screen for young audiences, she has tackled topics such as children affected by war, depression, and domestic violence. Through animation, she aims to inspire and move audiences. As an idealistic filmmaker, she writes, directs, animates, and produces her films under her own company, Trollfilm. After undergoing chemotherapy for cancer, she is now focusing more on screenwriting and directing.

“I believe that films can and should be more than just entertainment. It is exciting to strive for deeper layers in projects so that we all learn something new. It is reassuring to know that artistic films can also address important issues. Problems should not just be sad or heavy. However, if the audience is moved, it can spark meaningful conversations, create awareness, or lead to new experiences.”

She believes that while many well-crafted animations exist, too often, their content feels trivial. She is particularly excited by grand, lyrical films that progress slowly yet beautifully, allowing the audience space to think. While she has primarily worked on films for children, her works have also deeply impacted adults.

Children are vulnerable and impressionable, so filmmakers have a great responsibility as communicators, messengers, and educators. Unfortunately, high-quality children’s films are often deprioritized compared to the abundance of artistic films made for adults.

Johan Kaos Nåden Dyrstad

Johan Kaos Nåden Dyrstad（Johan Kaos is a director and screenwriter, and he also juggles work as a writer for commercials, theater and short films. It was through the latter that the idea for his first children’s book emerged. Kaos believes that “creativity breeds creativity”, and that the projects have grown alongside each other.

– It was never really the plan to write a children’s book. My day job is writing and directing films, and one day I got a picture in my head of a living planet in a garage. For me, it was an obvious short film idea, so I wrote it out as a short film script. But I quickly realized that this idea would be both expensive and difficult to implement in practice, so for fear of losing the project in an eternal development phase, I realized that the story could also be a good picture book. It was so visually clear from the start.

– The story is specifically about a girl who finds a real planet floating for herself, and who, with varying degrees of success, tries to take care of it in her garage. But I had a strong desire to build layers of different themes into the story, which the reader can dive into and explore if he or she wants. The text hardly mentions it, but Bård’s illustrations therefore tell the backdrop for Robin’s need for a friend and a project in the garage: Her parents are about to divorce, and it’s simply not very nice at home. In addition, The Planet is an exciting introduction to conversations about climate, the environment and life views. I therefore hope that we have managed to create a picture book that is nice and touching and exciting for the little ones, but that also engages older readers (not least the important adult readers).
