Fish Hole

When a giant hole appears at the limit of the Arctic, the walking fish are left making a difficult choice; Struggling with their unknown fate or diving away. The latest seems even more tempting since a new salesman offers deals for relocation in the south. Fish Hole is a geologic tale focusing on appropriation of territory and the danger to let others decide where and how we should live.

Fish Hole is an artistic cooperation between artists from Canada, Russia and Norway around the creation of a short movie of puppets and shadows. The short film, created in only 6 days, is based on a novella written by Icelandic author Kari Tullinius, written for Nordicité, walking on the circle cycle.
