Min börda

I went to an animation conference and Niki was the first speaker, and the only one that interested me, although I was unaware of her work at the time.... I've now watched The Burden 5 times in 3 days and am very enchanted. I marked it 10 stars although that was a bit generous.

A friend whose opinions I trust absolutely hated it.

However as a piece of animation to tell the story of how disassociated those of us who have worked in minimum wage dystopia can feel, I don't think there is any equivalent...we are just endlessly floating around on the third rock from the sun and occasionally enjoying life, I instances such as this little film.

Niki claimed that the budget for this film should have been 150,000 euros but she only had 75,000...

If you have ever been paid minimum wage in a soulless job, you may not want to see it writ large on a screen by stop frame animated animals, however I can fully understand why the various film festivals around the world were so entranced....well worth your time.
