Anna Erlandsson

Anna Margareta Erlandsson (born 21 December 1956) is a Swedish short film creator, designer, illustrator and animator. In 2004 she won the award for Best short film at Guldbaggegalan, for the animated movie Glenn, the Great Runner, for which she also received the Public choice award at Goteborg International Film Festival. Before the move to Jämtland and Rödön in 1989, Erlandsson lived in Stockholm for a few years. After this Erlandsson took a lot of short courses, among others at Gerlesborgskolan, Ordfront and Härke konstcentrum before she continued with an animation education at Filmpool Jämtland (1998–2000). She is also one animator out of five of the company Tant-I-Loop Film. In 2004 she made Glenn, the Great Runner, a three minutes animation about a man, Glenn, who is running in a competition but who, through the whole race, is being helped and supported by his wife. Erlandsson did the vignette to the 29th Goteborg International Film Festival in 2006 and the seven minutes animation Hanspår. To the tunes of Verdi a white-dressed bride goes cross country skiing with a long veil behind her. Since 2006 Erlandsson is also an honorary member of WIFT, Women in Film and Television. In 2009 Erlandsson did the four minutes, animated short film DORIS as one part out of eight for the feature film Doris the movie. Erlandssons animated short is about Doris, a cleaning woman at the Film institute. On her way to work she finds a document from the Doris manifest, which she reads and reflects up on. This leads to Doris deciding to help out with some problems that needs to be corrected. Another book that she has been a part of is the educational children's book Min vän Molle from 1995, in which Erlandsson did the illustrations and Curt Lofterud the text. Maya Westlund started working for Erlandsson in 2013.
