Las Palmas and Puppetboy – the Art of Johannes Nyholm (torsdag)

When the Swedish director, Johannes Nyholm, let a baby go berserk in a puppet-animated bar, in ‘Las Palmas’ , he became an overnight internet sensation. The film was snatched up by Cannes, as well as being seen by several million people on YouTube. The director already had a long well-established career as an artist, short film maker and music video director, but this crazy creativity and anarchic use of puppet animation provide the torchlight, which guides us around his world. We have chosen the best, and are showing them here back-to-back.
