eisspin, der sehr schreckliche

In Sledwaya, the sickest city in all of Zamonia, the starving Kratze Echo makes a diabolical pact with the Scarecrow Master Eisspin: He will provide her with the most delicious food in his castle if she will allow him to slaughter her at the end of the month and use her precious fat for his experiments. Seeing no other way out, poor Kratze agrees to the perfidious contract.

Based on the novel "Der Schrecksenmeister" by Walter Moers, the team around Adrian Doll (director) and Lukas Koll (producer) combined state-of-the-art technology with traditional narrative methods of live-action film in an extremely elaborate production process lasting several years. For example, the scratching echo was created using an animatronic hand puppet on a real set and with Christoph Maria Herbst as Eisspin. The Fantasy Filmfest presents the 15-minute fantasy film as a world premiere.
