Norsk Filminstitutt (Norwegian Filminstitute) recenly announced support for the animated short “Nora’s Ark”.

Due to climate change a flood is coming, and Noah saves animals onboard his ark. His daughter Nora wants to bring all her small insect friends, but Noah doesn’t want such “pests” onboard his ship. This starts a deep conflict between father and daughter and threatens not only their relationship, but also the small eco-system they are trying to create.

The short will be director Endre Lund Eriksen’s first animated short. Previously he has been the screenwriter of a couple of feature films and several shorts. He has also directed 13 episodes of the NRK Super series “Planetpatruljen” (Planet Patrol) and the new documentary series “Dyrevenn” (“Animal Friend”).

Planed premiere: 2022.
