Anu-Laura Tuttelberg
Stop motion filmmaker
In this intimate and deeply reflective portrait, stop motion filmmaker Anu-Laura Tuttelberg traces her journey from early artistic exploration through photography and cinematography to an uncompromising stop motion practice rooted in material craft.
She speaks about discovering puppet animation as a way to combine storytelling, atmosphere and physical presence, and about her desire to work alone so every detail survives from idea to screen. Tuttelberg describes her fascination with working in nature, her dedication to demanding materials
such as wood and porcelain, and the physical challenges of filming in remote environments with analog cameras. She reflects on obsession, endurance and the need to embrace a slow and difficult process, ultimately arriving at the belief that the act of making the film must be as meaningful as the finished work itself.
