The best animation: Tango Finlandia

IXth WT Os International Film Festival, Norway 2007. Jury’s Statement:

In an age where animators try to overdo each other with 3-dimensional handjobs across the line, these guys go the opposite way, presenting us with this little masterpiece of glorious 2-D. Truly original, wonderfully understated, with an exemplary correspondence between video and audio.

New place to hide

We have moved from Kallio to Iso Roobertinkatu at central Helsinki to live together with Stupido Records, one of the the longest standing indie record labels in Finland. Our previous co-productions are the gold selling DVD Sekoilun ytimessä by the fabulous humppa band Eläkeläiset and the Elä! DVD by the still ass-kicking grandfather of Finnish punk Pelle Miljoona.
