Trollfilm is a growing animation studio specialized in high quality handmade animation.
The studio is situated in Dovre, Oppland, a small village in the Norwegian mountains, surrounded by several national parks. The studio was founded by Anita Killi in 1995 on an old farm - there are still some cows around!
For many years, Anita worked mainly alone, doing everything from producing, directing, creating the artwork, building and animating. Her last short film took almost 6 years in the making and was a huge success. Angry Man (Sinnamann) is claimed to be the short film with the most awards world wide in 2010.
Since August 2018, a small team of four people work at Trollfilm on a daily basis on Anita’s 10 min short film Mor visste ingenting / Mother didn’t know, scheduled to be completed by the end of 2019.
Trollfilm has several new projects in development and we hope that the studio will grow into being a permanent workplace for a small team year round.
We are creating a National Strategy for the Development of Education for the Film Animation and Special Effects Industries
We know very well how big the potential lies in this sector. Its development is often hindered by the lack of practical professional and business skills, important from the point of view of entrepreneurs in this industry. Therefore, as part of the Education Programme of the European Economic Area Financial Mechanism for 2014-2021 (2nd call, component III), we are working on the National Strategy for the Development of Industry Education for the Film Animation and Special Effects Industries, which was initited by MOMAKIN. The program operator is the Foundation for the Development of the Education System.

Trollfilm is a proud sponsor of the local talent, Juni Arnekleiv, who is on the national recruitment team in biathlon.
It will be the first document of this type in Poland, thanks to which an objective, comprehensive and in-depth assessment of the actual state of vocational education in the film animation and special effects industries will be carried out.
The main goal is to develop and expand the knowledge and practical skills of employees in the film animation and special effects industries in Poland, by improving the quality and degree of adjustment of vocational education to the current needs of the industry. Development conditions in terms of education, vision, as well as strategic and operational goals will be determined, and above all, directions and guidelines for activities ensuring the professional development of employees in this industry (current and future) will be indicated in such a way that their professional skills respond to real and current labor market needs. The strategy is also to indicate the benefits of dual education, including the active participation of employers, i.e. animation studies in vocational education and their role in building and developing human potential.
The initiator of the project is MOMAKIN. The partners of the project are the University of Lodz - Faculty of Philology and the Department of Film and Audiovisual Media, as well as the Association of Polish Animation Producers (SPPA) and Trollfilm AS.
