Synopsis
In 1997, a fire began in Indonesia that would rage for almost a year. Despite being one of the largest fires in recorded history, for months at a time it burned without a flame. This might sound like a uniquely freaky fire, but it’s actually one of many. So, is it possible to snuff out these bizarre blazes? And how do they form in the first place?
Ivana (Bošnjak) Volda (1983, Karlovac, Croatia) graduated from the Department of Graphic Arts of the Academy of Fine Arts in Zagreb, and from the Animation department at the University in Volda, Norway. Ivana met her creative partner Thomas in Volda, Norway in 2010 after which they moved to Zagreb together and have since been leading artists of stop-motion animation in Croatia. In addition to making their own animated short films, Ivana has been professionally involved in various stop-motion projects across Europe, and has led animation workshops for children and students.
In 2023 Ivana and Thomas founded the artist organisation underfeather together with their friend Iva Kraljević.
