January 6, 13, 20 & 27, 2026Animation Tuesdays:
The Wolf House
Introduced by Olympia Film Society’s Kelly Ramirez on January 13
Maria, a young woman finds refuge in a house in the south of Chile after escaping from a sect of German religious fanatics. She is welcomed into the home by two pigs, the only inhabitants of the place. Like in a dream, the universe of the house reacts to Maria’s feelings. The animals transform slowly into humans and the house becomes a nightmarish world. Inspired on the actual case of Colonia Dignidad, “The Wolf House” masquerades as an animated fairy tale produced by the leader of the sect in order to indoctrinate its followers.

“Its visual landscape is unlike any I’ve experienced.” – Matt Fagerholm, RogerEbert.com
“Perhaps comparing it to a David Lynch film can come close to characterizing the experience.” – Tomris Laffly, Variety
“The film surprises, with incredible force, in every one of its 75 minutes.” – Glenn Kenny, New York Times
“The Wolf House encapsulates a nauseating and wondrous feature of animation by Chilean artists, Cristobal Leon & Joaquin Cocina whose other credits include Beau is Afraid (2023) and The Hyperboreans (2024). Rooms stretch into mazes. Structures are built simultaneously as they are deformed and deteriorate with rapid pace, inducing a claustrophobic sense of space and time where its dreaded history continues to unfold.” – Kelly Ramirez, Olympia Film Society
