Puppeteer and animator Markus Tangres four minute short film Ivar is selected for the short film programme in Sundance 2026.
This dark and humorous short film is about Anne. When noticing her husband Ivar's new scent, she lies awake at night with a nagging question: should she leave him? With Ivar snoring beside her, she turns to the camera and shares her frustration, and through a stream of thoughts and fast-paced montages, she lists everything that's wrong with him. It all builds to a full-blown rant where no detail is spared.
The Short film is a live action puppetry animation by director and puppeteer Markus Tangre from Oslo. The film is produced by Rebekka Rognøy for Bacon Pictures.
