Synopsis

Eini is growing up isolated from society in the forest with her violent father, a man afraid of the world. He does everything he can to make her believe that the world outside and the people out there are evil, fearing the offset of her puberty and womanhood. Despite the brutality she is exposed to, she created a world of her own from which to draw the strength to survive.

In this part animation fable, Eini exposes the unflinching resolution of childhood innocence.

Granny’s Dancing on the Table is Hanna Sköld’s second feature film. Her recent short Lady Crush had its world premiere in 2011 at Fantastic Fest in Austin, Texas. Sköld started her work with audience participation during the online distribution of her first feature film Nasty Old People in 2009. The film was spread online in Hanna Sköld writer and director 113 countries, and the audience participated in the distribution through translation of the subtitles, organizing screenings, and donating money to the film. She has a Masters Degree in film from Valand Academy Film in Gothenburg. Hanna Sköld is exploring new ways to create, finance and distribute her films through interaction with her audience, using transmedia and crowdfunding.

Hanna became aware of innovative distribution when making her first film, which premiered on Pirate Bay, after which it was the Doris Prize. As a result, Nasty Old People received global attention in the media. Pirate Bay became Hanna's start to start working on interactive cultural projects.

With the Granny’s Dancing on the Table project she won the ARTE Power to the Pixel Pitch Prize in London 2010, MEDEA’s Co-Production Prize in Sweden and MEDIA’s European Talent Prize for Best Script in Cannes, both in 2011.
