Stop blaming the iceberg

Tanjetsfilms have just finished a new short. We hope this film will contribute to switch the focus from that boat to the real victim of the disaster, the iceberg. We have just started to send it to festivals. We think this short deserves The Pulitzer Prize for investigative reporting. We, Tanjetsfilms, are aware of the unfair world we live in, so we do not expect anything.

Artpiece of the week

We have recieved critics from so called experts about one of our earlier entries. They think that as many as four mackerels in the artpiece "Mackerel fillets in tomato sauce shoal - Polluted occean background" is not enough to use the term shoal in the title. We think this is rubbish, and to silence the critics we have chosen to publish an even more impressive work including a shoal with twice the amount. This weeks we present "Mackerel fillets in tomato sauce shoal - Blue occean soon to be polluted background".

Artpiece of the week

After long, demanding but indeed very constructive discussions, we have decided to post yet another masterpiece among our Pop Art works. "Mackerel fillets in tomato sauce on Norwegian oatmeal (The lightly cooked version)" is one of our proudest moments. I don`t know what status oatmeal has in your country, but up here north it is more popular than the King. It is a bold statement considering that the King is celebrating his birthday today, but the truth must be told. One of the top news today in Norwegian papers is that Sotheby`s in New York is to offer one of the versions of "The Scream" by Edvard Munch on 2 May this year. We apologize if this post will overshadow this news.

Artpiece ofthe week

Tanjetsfilms continues to present Pop Art to the international, aristocratic and sophisticated art scene. The value for "Cheezier doodles when including mackerel fillets in tomato sauce" is now probably zero, but who knows after this blog entry, maby only a Rockefeller, the Rothschilds or Queen Elisabeth can afford it. This could be a perfect gift for the one year anniversary marriage between William and Kate as well. Let`s hope she reads our blog.

Art piece of the week

Another week comes to an end. That means another art piece entry on the Tanjetsfilms blog. This time we take on the Pop Art phenomen. It means including imagery from popular culture into the fine art scene. Some people outside Norway might say that mackerel fillets in tomato sauce is not popular culture, but that is not true if you ask a norwegian. There are a lot of health freaks in Norway, and Omega-3 fatty acid is one of the top favourites among those people. Mackerel fillets in tomato sauce has a lot of it. Enough said. Enjoy it with Frydenlund draft beer.

Norwegian shorts with no ending

We keep on adding more scenes to the next "Norwegian shorts with no ending". Here we can see a Tanjetsfilms animator watching his short at a festival somewhere in Europe. He doesn`t look impressed. We have struggeled to find a good start to the next short, but we think this is a good one.

Artpiece of the week

It`s time for a new "Artpiece of the week" entry. The last entry was not a success. We don`t know why, but we will not give up our art project with public transport tickets. We think it is a brilliant idea, and we believe the project will get the deserved credits in the end. This next entry is called "I bought this ticket in Bari to go to Pisticci, but I don`t know if I will be able to go there". The artpiece was started on in 2001 and finished in 2009, when the artist actually managed to buy the ticket at the local train station in Bari. It is not clear if the artist managed to go to Pisticci, or if he just bought the ticket and did not bother to go there. It is another fact that the public transport is sometimes not very reliable in that part of Italy as well. That may have also played a part in the unclear saga of this artpiece.
The best way to enjoy it, is with a laptop at a public transport with a cold Frydenlund draft beer.
