Martinus Klemet

I'm an animation director hailing from Estonia. My work often blends surrealism, pop art, grotesque elements, and humor.

I studied Fine Arts (BA) and Animation (MA) at the Estonian Academy of Arts. I have directed animated short films that have been screened at many international film festivals and have won both national and international awards.

In addition to my own short films, I have directed music videos, commercials, infomercials, commissioned works for museums, and other types of animated content. I have also been invited to speak about my work in Estonia, Australia, Turkey, Kosovo, and Mexico, and I have mentored animation students at the Estonian Academy of Arts. Currently, I’m enrolled in practice-led PhD studies at the same university. I am researching how to develop new narratives by combining creative methods from animation and improv theatre.
