But You Are a Dog








But You Are a Dog is a 2D animated short film written and directed by Malin Erixon, with Shanti Roney as voice actor. The idea for the film is based on a show I went to some time ago - a choreography performance by Tove Salmgren. The performance reminded me of how differently we perceive art and culture, depending on how much preunderstanding we have of what we are experiencing. And I pondered how our appreciation of culture is affected by others when consumed in a group. Duration: 11:52 min.

The film premiered at Göteborg International Film Festival in January 2014, the leading film festival in Scandinavia and, with an audience of 200 000 visitors a year, one of the largest festivals in the world. The film was nominated for Startsladden 2014, one of the biggest short film awards in the world. :)

SYNOPSIS
An odd group of people gather to see an unusual dance performance. They all have their own issues but nevertheless, they can't help but notice the odd one out. This is a nontraditional love story, between a man and his... special friend.
