On a spring night, in a city, in a stone house, by a park, the drawer falls asleep by her window.
There, I was born. I was small, almost not at all. Everything was sleeping. Everything was blue.
Water was babbling. At that moment, I swam out of the drawer’s cage, away from her papers, away
from the lake of her desk. I swam through the woods, the night and the water into the Fairy tale.

The end of the 80s, a village in the middle of Finland. 15-year-old Hevari, the only long-haired boy
in town, is the coolest guy in the world – at least according to Kake from next door. No-one else
seems to agree. Short-tempered Hevari is used to being the laughing stock among the gang and
the girls. But when the Friday night comes and there’s a disco at the community hall, it’s time to
go again. Maybe tonight everything will be different.

A sweaty and tense afternoon on a city bus. Tired, angry and apathetic people. A small boy who’s
afraid to go home and is sort of trapped on the bus. This is one of those moments when you’re
balancing on a razor’s edge.
In the end a person who has every reason to give up musters up the energy to care and the boy
is saved.
A small unselfish act, to rise above everyday life for a moment is enough for a feeling of mythical heroism to spark to life for a moment.
Unless we see enough signs in our surrounding reality that at least one person cares and
is capable of altruistic, unselfish acts during tough, stressful situations then some significant
break-down will occur. We need these signs to believe in this world and to feel good. Especially
for children.

A meditative journey to an oasis that a bunch of people consider their second home, where they
return each summer. These people include a retired policeman, a musician, a professor and
a worker. They and many others share the powerful experience of the swimming stadium as a
source of vitality. Many have been going there since they were little children.
Keidas continues the director’s visually impressive series of water films. It brings the beautiful,
functionalistic swimming stadium, previously seen in many of his films, into the foreground. This
film is like a layered portrait of Finland’s first outdoor swimming pool and its regular customers.

About the swimming stadium: It took a long time for the Helsinki swimming stadium to be completed as a site for the Olympics and a popular bathing establishment. The designing work started
in the early 1930’s and the building started in 1938 according to the plans by architect Jorma
Järvi. The stadium was supposed to be finished for the 1940 Olympics, which had been awarded
to Helsinki, but the work was suspended because of the Winter War. The swimming stadium was
finally completed for the 1952 Olympics.

Finland emerged from WWII in a schizophrenic state. The nation had survived two wars against
the Soviet Union with her independence in tact, but had officially come out on the losing side. It
was hard to talk about the war in the homes. Fathers were back from the front, but they found it
difficult to adjust to everyday life. The heroism and camaraderie of the battlefield lived on in their
memories, the horrors of war haunted their dreams. Mothers, the heroines of the household,
took control and began organizing the lives of their families.
To post-war children, their parents seemed distant, authoritarian, frightening. It took the Sixties to free the society from the spectre of unquestionable authority, and to open windows to the
outside world. Television brought war back into the living room, but now it was being fought on
the other side of the planet.
The film is composed around old Lutheran hymns and their spiritual legacy. Hymnal motifs
dominate the soundtrack and recall memories of a time when they were an unquestioned element
in everyday life. The wealth of visual imagery consists of animation, archive materials and snapshots from old family albums.

Asko is a man, Myrsky is a horse. In winter, the pair earn their living by logging wood in small
forests in the Helsinki metropolitan area. The work is hard and the days are long. The man and
the horse have only each other for company. The Loggers is a film about the co-operation between
a man and an animal, and about a dying working method meeting the 21st century landscape.
First and foremost, it is a tribute to testosterone steaming in the cold of winter.

Hannes Tiira is completely blind. Every night from the beginning of May to the second week of
July, he takes a solitary walk into a bird grove that is split by a straight one-kilometre-long forest
path. He counts and classifies the nightly singers in the grove, from the first warbler in spring
to the last whistler in July. The birds’ songs make up a concert that Hannes wants to experience
every night, over and over again.
He hopes to come across a “magical night” that may occur just once in a summer: “Each summer is blessed with one or two magical nights. Those are the twilight hours between two hot days,
when the sound world of the grove intoxicates your mind. That is when nothing feels unlikely:
birds, birds, birds!”
“I can sense everything, even the beauty of a landscape, even though I am blind. Every night as
I walk in the forest, I ask myself: Is this possible, have I gone to bird men’s heaven?”

The main character in the film, a lonely painter, sits in his studio before a blank canvas, wondering what to paint. He decides to paint a self-portrait. The film follows the artist working, this exciting and ever-escalating process, up until the painting is finished... but something goes wrong.
The self-portrait may have become a little too realistic, it almost breathes...

One night, before falling asleep, I started to think about people close to me and the powerful feelings that they feel. The feelings seemed strong, overwhelming, all-consuming and in some cases
even overpowering. I thought about the world and people in a wider context and that developed
into a starting point for Number.
Number – Life on a Scale of 0 to 10 is a sketch and an outline of feelings.
Our lives are filled with pure and meaningful moments and periods that consist only of feelings.
In some parts of our lives, we feel that we are alone and in some sense special. We think that there’s
no one else in this world as unhappy, lonely, depressed, scared, happy, or in love as we are.
If at that moment we turn our attention inwards, we lose the ability to co-exist and be compassionate – thus losing life itself.
The diversity of human feeling is unlimited, and the words
we use to describe it are only lame and vague allusions.
- Yrjö Kallinen, 1951

tells a story about a man who pushed the norms of chastity in the Finland of the late
1960’s.
Mattijuhani Koponen is a pioneer of Finnish underground and performance art, who had sexual intercourse on top of a grand piano and threw the conservative Finland off its rails. The fine
line between art and pornography was discussed in several courts of justice. The artist was sentenced to one year in prison. One public act in his youth has stigmatised the man and his whole
life. The incident turned his life upside down and almost destroyed him. His friends disappeared,
and Koponen was almost completely forgotten.
Much of the time and era is culminated in Koponen’s fate. The film is one man’s romantic journey amidst the complex set of values of our recent history, when the idealism of an individual made
the powers-that-be nervous. At the same time, it reminds us of similar problems we face today.

A hand opens, turns... Old men’s hands, whose lines echo the criss-crossed patterns of ski-tracks.
Hands that remember wielding a scythe, caressing a child – and pulling a trigger. These men,
veteran soldier-skiers of the Winter War, today take part in an annual skiing competition. The
Skiers tells the story in a handful of words and a few telling pictures. The result is a celebration of
old age, the joy of life, and the tough endurance of the Finnish spirit.

A subjective documentary set in Kerala, South India. The stunning beauty, the potent dose of reality and the fascination of traditional dances and rituals are paralleled with the many courses of
a Thali meal.
Thali is a popular meal of many different dishes, served in small metal bowls on a round tray.
There are six or seven bowls, as there are scenes in the film. The flavours and the spiciness of the
dishes vary from mild to mouth-burning. Each little dish has its own name.
Just like rice brings together the alternating flavours on a Thali tray, the film combines the
ritual rhythms with the rhythm, pulse and performance of life.

The film tells of the Choreographer, who is attracted to and obsessed with Vaslav Nijinsky, the
legendary Russian choreographer and dancer (1890–1950).
While reading the Diary of Nijinsky, the Choreographer is rehearsing with his Dance Company
his edition of Nijinsky’s famous work, “The Faune”. Nijinsky wrote his Diary by hand during the 6
weeks he spent locked up in the study of his house in Switzerland. The Diary ends when Nijinsky
was forcibly taken to the Insane Asylum, where he remained for over 20 years.
Through Nijinsky’s Diary, the Choreographer is experiencing that sensation where all of the
revelations he is reading about are brought to life in his mind. Now he is learning about the deepest inner thoughts and feelings that Nijinsky has.
The Choreographer has always been infatuated with Nijinsky, first through his admiration of
Nijinsky’s choreography’s and dance, and then through his realisation of the extraordinary similarities between Nijinsky and Himself.

is a film about the collision between man and nature. It is a tale about two woodsmen
who encounter a wolf-like creature in a beautiful forest. The woodsmen are doing their everyday
job, felling trees and piling up logs, but is there something more in the forest?
It looks like the woodsmen do not notice the existence of the wolf-like creature. Still it is there
and interferes with events. Or does it?
The film plays with the clone-like similarity of the woodsmen; they are almost faceless. It also
comments on how Finnish men communicate.
I wanted to make this film because a pine forest in spring is a quintessential childhood experience for me. I remember how the sound of a tractor shatters the silence of the forest. How heavy
wood is. The feeling of power when a huge tree falls. Sitting at a camp-fire, panning over the forest in farewell. How alive and mysterious the forest is. The conflict between man and nature is
irreconcilable. Still, even though nature loses at the end of the film, humour comes out on top.
The actors in the film are from the same remote district; they share the same experience of
nature. Dancer Reijo Kela as the wolf-like character brings an animalistic nature experience to
the film.

A double projection “science noir” short film by Mika Taanila.
The film has two separate film reels – positive (“The Sun”) and negative (“The Moon”) –
which are projected simultaneously on a big screen, superimposed on each other.
The Zone of Total Eclipse is based on scientific film footage shot by The Finnish Geodetic Institute in Poroluoto, near the town of Kokkola in Western Finland in July 1945. During a total eclipse
of the Sun, the film medium was used for the first time in world history to measure the exact
distance between two continents: Europe and North America.
The measurement was not successful due to mechanical running problems with recently introduced 35mm cameras and lenses. In the film you can see images and sounds from the Poroluoto test site. It consists of the actual measurements – ghost-like surreal sights witnessed by
the film camera. The film pays homage to the early pioneers of scientific film – a celebration of
interplanetary shadows at work.
