ANITA KILLI
Anita was born in Stavanger on February 17, 1968. She studied graphic design and illustration at Kunsthøgskole in Oslo (KHIO), and animation at Volda University College.
After completing her education, she relocated to her family farm on Dovre and established Trollfilm AS, a fully-operational animation studio. Since then, Anita has directed a number of short animated films, mostly adapted from children’s books. Some of those films are: Solens Datter/The Daughter of the Sun (1996), Kongen som ville ha mer enn en Krone/The King who wanted more than a Crown (1999), The Hedge of Thorns (2001).
Her latest film, Sinna Mann/Angry Man (2009), chronicles the heartbreaking story of childhood abuse at the hands a violent father, and one boy’s brave attempt to seek help from Norway’s King. The film was nominated for a number of awards, including an Amanda, and won for Best Animated Short Film at the Chicago International Children’s Film Festival.
Anita will begin development on her first feature-length animated film.
