YOUNG CRITICS LAB #1 AURELIA AASA

Meet the team attending the 15th edition of the Les Arcs Film Festival!

Aurelia Aasa is a producer and film critic with years of experience. In 2019 she was named the Film Journalist of the Year by the Estonian Association of Film Journalists. With her production company AAA Creative she focuses on projects that are bold, fresh and lined with dark humour. In less than three years, AAA has emerged as one of the fastest-growing animation companies in Estonia. AAA's productions include dark animated comedy SIERRA (dir. Sander Joon, 2022) which travelled to more than 200 film festivals and was acquired by The Criterion Channel, ARTE, YLE etc. It was the first Estonian animation shortlisted at the Academy Awards. Currently, she's on the festival circuit with a trippy virtual cat adventure MIISUFY (dir. Liisi Grünberg, 2023). Her upcoming projects include an animated short YUMMY (dir. Martinus Klemet, 2024) and an animated feature comedy with multi-awarded animation director Sander Joon. Besides running her company, Aurelia Aasa is an animation production lecturer at the Estonian Academy of Arts.
