3rd June 2012 at 18:01.
Reruns at 11 June 17:35
and 23 June 07:50.
The film is on the Internet in SVT Play for 30 days.
The short film is also planned to be broadcast later this year on YLE (Finland ) and NRK (Norway).
Now in it’s 58′s year, the International Short Film Festival Oberhausen has become one of the world’s most respected film events – a place where filmmakers and artists ranging from Roman Polanski to Cate Shortland, from George Lucas to Pipilotti Rist have presented their first films.
We are proud that our latest shot animation, Aston’s Presents is in competition in the Children’s and Youth Cinema program (age 3 and over).
The program is set to
• SAT, 28 April, Sunset, 10.30 a.m.
• MON, 30 April, Lichtburg, 10.30 h
This will be the International Premiere of the film.
Once again, Radicalized by Klara Swantesson will be screened in Tricky Women (14-18 March 2012).
The film was awarded in the same festival The Synchro Film & TV award in 2007.
This time it will be screened in a program called Women at work.
BUFF (13-17 March 2012), Children’s and youths Film festival in Malmö, Sweden will screen some of our films.
• Spot and Splodge on the Spot will be screened 13/3 10:45 and 14/3 09:30
• Aston’s Presents will have a WORLD PREMIERE as a part of Minifilm on Thursday 15/3 09:30
Further more, Lotta Geffenblad will lead a workshop in Stop Motion on Monday 12/3.
3 films, of total 15 titles, are participating in Filmcentum’s “Minibio”.
It’s “Aston’s Stones“, ”Spot and Splodge in Snowstorm” and “Wing gets lost“. For more information check Filmcenstrum’s website [in Swedish].
Every week, on Sundays at 18:00 with start 15 January 2012, SVT-B will broadcast an episode of “Spot and Splodge” (all seven episodes). A re-run will follow the next Friday at 9:00.
SVT has created a special webpage for the program.
The episodes broadcast in this order:
15/1 In Snowstorm (Snöar In)
22/1 At the Dentist (Tandtrollar)
29/1 Undercover (Hemliga)
5/2 Are Printers (Trycker till)
12/2 Have a spot of Lunch (På Pricknick)
19/2 Ship out (Sjön suger)
26/2 See Stars (Ser Stjärnor)
We have completed a new short film called Aston’s Presents (Astons Presenter).
It’s a 9 min. long computerized cut-out animation for kids, based on a book by Lotta Geffenblad from 2008.
We’ve been working on the film parallel with the work on Spot and Splodge series. All animation work (except of a few small details) is done by our favorite animator, Elinor Bergman.
Since the film is a co-production with SVT (and FiV) it’s going to be screened for sure on the Swedish Television sometimes during 2012. But we also hope it will reach the theaters both in Sweden and abroad, and of course to many festivals around the world as well.

Aston is staring as a cover boy in the Danish poster of “Børnebiffen”.
Børnebiffen is organized by the Danish Film Institute to give municipalities and theaters in whole Denmark the possibility to screen quality children’s films.
You can also see our Spot and Splodge in Snowstorm (or as they call it “Prik og Plet i sneen“) in one of the Danish film packages.
And soon they will also have our Spot and Splodge at the Dentist in Danish.
Just before the premiere in the theatres in France, 30 November, our French distributor Les Films Du Preau created a PDF document that can be downloaded and also be used as an exhibition in cinemas with what they call The Secrets of the Producion (Secrets de fabrication).
Here’s the link to that document. Though it’s in French it’s easy it’s follow.
