Pink Twins’ latest film Firewalk is selected to Annecy International Animation Film Festival, held from 8th to 14th June 2025 in Annecy, France. Firewalk will be screened in the Off-Limits category.
In Firewalk (2025) a pre-apocalyptic midnight walk takes you through a burning forest to witness a looming destruction. A fire in the forest either marks an impending doom, or serves as a metaphysical gateway between realities. With their new short film Firewalk, chaos animators Pink Twins are on a deconstructive streak: as they guide you through gloomy visions of an all-consuming catastrophy, they also strip down the illusion of moving image itself, break the spell of immersion and reveal the sketchy building blocks of animated storytelling, staying true to their dark intuition.
Pink Twins was formed in 1997 by brothers Juha and Vesa Vehviläinen, artists, filmmakers and electronic musicians, born and raised in Helsinki, Finland. Since starting in the hotbed of arts and underground music that was turn-of-the-millennium Helsinki, Pink Twins have polished their musical and visual output into a distinctive and superimmersive audiovisual mayhem. The colourful, abstract cyclic flow of their animation works focus on human perception, its functionality and limits. In their audiovisual live performances Pink Twins create a wholesome and transformative experience with an extremely detailed wall of sound and immersive video projections. Pink Twins have presented their works in exhibitions and festivals on all continents and performed audiovisual live shows through Europe, Americas, Asia and Australia.
