Ülo Pikkov (b. 1976) is an internationally renowned filmmaker, producer and film scholar. He studied animation at the Turku Arts Academy in Finland and since 1996 has directed several award-winning animation films. He has published articles on film and written fiction books for children and adults.
Ülo is the author of Animasophy. Theoretical Writings on the Animated Film (2010). Currently he is completing his PhD studies at the Estonian Academy of Arts and working as a manager and producer for documentary and animation films in Silmviburlane.
Ülo is specialized in the creation of animated documentaries.
As an author, I’m drawn to the relationships created between animation techniques and real life events and to animation film as a reflection of society. I’m interested in opening up and coming to terms with memories, dreams, experiences and traumas through animation. My aim is to introduce a documental dimension of animation.
