THE ANIMALS’ CONSTITUTION

75 years ago, the German constitution was written in a very unusual location: a museum filled with stuffed animals. The satirical late night show ZDF Magazin Royale tells the story of how these animals actually played an essential part in setting up the law for post-war Germany. Studio Soi’s Johannes Weiland, co-directed the film with ZDF Magazin Royale’s Risto Saar. Together with a small team of artists, Johannes created the storyboards, animatics, backgrounds, animation and the compositing for the 30 minute piece. Audiences will have their chance to watch the film Friday, 19th of January 2024 on ZDF. The streaming service ZDF Mediathek will also stream the film from 8pm on the same day.
