Lili off to Berlin Generation

BERLIN. Siri Melchior's colourful films about the everyday adventures of Lili are invited to the Berlin Film Festival's shorts competition for children's film, Generation Kplus.

Three animated shorts directed by Siri Melchior are selected for the Generation Kplus competition at the Berlinale (11-21 February).

"Lili Loves Food," "Lili Brushes her Teeth" and "Lili's Playdate" are three-minute shorts about life at 3 packed with colour and music. The films are part of a series of eight films about Lili's adventures based on Kim Fupz Aakeson's books. They are produced by Marie Bro for Dansk Tegnefilm, a well-renowned Danish animation studio who were behind last year's Generation-participant "Mini and the Mozzies" by Jannik Hastrup and Flemming Quist Møller.

Siri Melchior graduated in animation from the Royal College of Art, London, in 1999, and has a degree in graphic design from the Royal Danish Academy's School of Design (1995) and a BA in Art History from Copenhagen University (1991). She is noted for her animation shorts aimed at pre-schoolers such as "The Dog Who Was a Cat Inside" (2002), "Whistleless" (2009), which premiered in Berlin's children's competition, and the series about "Rita and Crocodile" (2014).
