Welcome to Ganzanderes/Malin Erixon. I work with illustration and animated film, contracted as well as independent productions. My films have been screened at film festivals all over the world – for example at the Sundance Film Festival, Ottawa International Animation Festival, Nordisk Panorama and Stockholm International Film Festival, as well as places like Studion at the Modern Museum of Art in Stockholm and Liljevalchs Art Gallery. I'm honoured to have received several nominations and awards for my work. For instance, in 2015 I was nominated for a Swedish Film Academy Award, a Guldbagge and in 2022 I received the Liljevalchs and San Michele Foundation scholarship ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

ABOUT THE FILM
An animated documentary short film based on interviews. By Malin Erixon. Duration: 14.5 min.
Ex-wives, offspring, mother-in-laws, stepchildren and other loosely related people and close ones. Norms, jealousy, frustration and love… I invited a number of individuals to tell their story – the big and the small – about the group they call FAMILY.
The stories we hear are the authentic sounds from the actual interviews. Real stories told by real people.
