Short film for children: Cupcakes, The Great Abundance, and more

The film Cupcakes premieres in Norrbotten! The Great Abundance is an animated film with a climate theme that starts off a bit scary as Pjä’s house floats away in a flood.

Cupcakes: Directed by Charissa Martinkauppi. 13 minutes long. Norrbotten premiere!

When a girl finds a glowing green goo under the sink, she decides to take revenge on her mean teacher. She mixes the substance into the frosting of a cupcake, which she gives to the teacher, but the pastry now possesses powers that no one could have anticipated.

Charissa Martinkauppi is originally a theater director, and this is her debut film.

The Great Abundance: Directed by Magnus Fredriksson. 23 minutes long.

Pää’s house floats away in a flood, and soon Nif joins in. Together, they embark on an exciting adventure down the Torne River and out to sea. Along the way, they encounter creatures and characters—some are dangerous, some are polluters, and some help or accompany them on their journey. As they travel, they witness the consequences of environmental destruction, and when they finally return home, they throw a climate-smart party without straws or disposable cups.

The Great Abundance is an animated series originally made as an advent calendar with 24 episodes, which has since been edited into a 23-minute film.

Tickets are available on tickster.com. Tickets at the door can be paid in cash or via Swish.

This film screening is organized by the municipality of Jokkmokk in collaboration with Filmpool Nord and Folkets Hus Jokkmokk.
