Fanitullen
This violin must only be played on with a light heart, otherwise really bad things will happen!
The local fiddler Ragnar is in love with the beautiful young Synnøve, but she is to be unwillingly married to the the richest man in the village; the big, obnoxious brute Big Farmer. In total despair, Ragnar throws his violin into a dark pond, where a mythical creature hands it back to him in a different shape and with dark forces. This violin must only be played on with a light heart, otherwise really bad things will happen!

Fanitullen has been supported by the Norwegian Film Institue, Midtnorsk Filmsenter and Fond for lyd og bilde. The film premiered at The Norwegian Short Film Festival in june 2022, and started its international festival run short after.
