Olga PƤrn

Olga PƤrn (1976) is an animator, film director, and illustrator. She graduated in graphic arts from the Belarusian State Academy of Arts and completed a course in film direction at the La Poudriere animation school in Valence, France. Currently, she works as a visiting professor at the Estonian Academy of Arts. PƤrnā€™s style is sometimes fun, other times somewhat sarcastic and edging towards dark humour, but always warm and witty. Her illustrations provide food for thought.
