'TITO ON ICE' SNEAK PREVIEW
The final cut of Max Andersson's new feature film has been completed and is in postproduction.
The workprint was previewed for the first time at ANIMATEKA International Animated Film Festival, 6th December 2011.
Max designed the festival poster and an exhibition of the models and sets created for the film was presented at Kinodvor in Ljubljana.
The film mixes live documentary scenes with stop motion sequences shot on Super 8 mm. During the production, more than fifty different sets and an infinite number of characters were constructed to form an entire parallel universe exclusively made out of wastepaper, cardboard boxes and garbage.
To promote their book BOSNIAN FLAT DOG, Max Andersson and colleague Lars Sjunnesson tour the countries of former Yugoslavia with a mummyfied Marshal Tito in a refrigerator.
Watching border controls turn into improvised snapshot parties, admiring mutant iron-curtain disney toys, buying souvenir grenade shell handicrafts and discovering sniper art galleries in blown-out apartments, they find that truth may indeed be stranger than fiction.
