Jenny Jokela: Dollhouse Elephant (2025)

Böhle Studios: Auteur Animation from the Countryside to the World

Böhle Studios is a production company producing animated short films. It was founded by animation director and artist Elli Vuorinen and producer and sound designer Jani Lehto. At the heart of Böhle Studios activities is a strong knowledge of the traditions, history and current state of animation. Böhle Studios is located on Böhle's farm in the countryside of Piikkiö, but from the very beginning, they have invested in internationality, networking and festival distribution. This has paid off, and, in the past two years, the production company's animations have been the most screened Finnish short films at foreign film festivals. They have toured from Annecy to Sundance and from Tirana to Toronto. In addition to their visibility, they have accumulated an impressive collection of awards.

This screening will feature all of Böhle's films: Heta Jäälinoja's Nun or Never!, Elli Vuorinen's Flower Show and Jenny Jokela's Dollhouse Elephant. Each of them is the result of uncompromising work that looks like its director's visions. After the animations, the founders of the company explain how the international distribution of these films has been carried out and what the prerequisites for success have been.
