Great Granddad’s Tall Tales / dir. Tone Mygind Rostbøll, Lea Glob

Language: Danish with Polish voice-over
Studio cinema Åšwiatowid, ul. 3 Maja 7, Katowice

Great Grandad’s Tall Tales is an eight-part miniseries for young children. Five-year-old Theodor pays a visit to his amazing, charming and slightly scary Great Grandad who lives atop a mountain in Norway together with his little cat, Bombi Bitt. Great Grandad has only one ‘good’ eye, always wears a hat, smokes cigars and has a laugh so loud that it can be heard echoing across the mountains. In the Norwegian fells, Great Grandad recounts amazing tales about his childhood friend ‘Fatso’ to his – often impatient – great grandchild – and Theodor listens, goes off exploring and invents imaginative games to play in the Norwegian countryside, the home of the grazing moose and growling bear.
