Greetings
from
Audiovisual
Finland
THESE ARE EXCITING times in the
Finnish audiovisual scene. With several
recent remake deals of drama series,
well-traveling documentaries and
formats, it’s clear that Finland has a lot
to offer across genres for international
audiences.
Importantly, Finland has also become
an animation and digital powerhouse
in the last few years, where downloads
and viewer figures are measured not in
millions, but billions worldwide.
Audiovisual Finland’s mission is to
boost the internationalisation and
growth of the Finnish audiovisual
industry. A joint effort with our Nordic
colleagues is a fantastic initiative
through which we can fulfill this
mission, and showcase the best of
Finnish content as well as help our
production companies to network with
global players.
I want wish you a warm welcome to
meet some of the hottest content
creators and producers from Finland at
the Nordic paviliion, located at C16.C.

Albi the Snowman
Albi is a jovial snowman who lives in the land of
eternal snow, together with a little birdie and a
worm. His two companions have made a nest into
an empty can of tomato soup, which Albi wears
as a hat.
To Albi, home is where the snow is, but the lack
of furniture gives the place a less than cosy feel.
Albi has a stroke of genius, and he starts to build
an armchair out of snow. The idea flourishes and
soon he has a comfy home.

When filmmaker Einari was a boy in small-town
Finland, his father Veikko was an ordinary guy with
a job at the local tax office. Until he disclosed to
his 12-year-old son that he acted as a messenger
between Earth and Outer Space. From there on
out, Veikko was a super-being who believed he
could cure cancer, see extraterrestrial beings and
have contact with the afterlife. 25 years later, Einari
returns and to confront his father with his own
doubts. My Father from Sirius is a wonderfully told
father and son film about belief and disbelief in the
spiritual world.

The Star Dreamer
Walk of Life
Making impossible dreams come true.
Let the Roots Find You!

impossible dream come true. It’s a story about the
perseverance of a Finnish man named Vesa Heilala.
His attitude has enabled him to become the first
Finnish man in space. The documentary follows his
journey in reaching his dream.
Vesa Heilala was born 1966 in northern Finland.
He was a normal boy, dreaming about the same
things every other boy dreams of. One thing made
him a little different, though: his eagerness to
explore the unknown. Next year he is going to
celebrate his 50th birthday in space with Paris

millionaires.

Walk of Life is a multilayered psychological road
documentary about finding who you really are in
the African world. The journey travels deep into the
mind and dreams of a master drummer standing
at the crossroads of his life. The protagonist
Zoumana has been summoned to perform his last
initiation, the Elderhood initiation, at his faraway
home village. Preparing himself for the ritual,
Zoumana travels from the busy city to the poor
countryside, accompanied by his youngest son.
On the road, Zoumana’s son’s presence awakens
memories of a hard-lived childhood. Travelling back
in time, Zoumana sees himself as a boy once again,
receiving the education he never asked for.
The project combines unique access to the
African oral tradition with fifteen years of extreme
Finnish dedication to the subject. Realized with a
small film crew, the story is sensible and intimate.

Until Cancer Do Us Part
A warm and touching story about a man and his family
fighting brain cancer.
A man in his prime learns that he has an aggressive
brain tumor. Essentially the diagnosis is equal to a
death sentence. In this documentary we follow him,
his wife and their children closely while the family
travels down this tough road, filled with love all the
way from diagnosis to death.
The film portrays the entire process in a very
personal and naked manner, showing us what a
family goes through when one of them has to face
death.
Cancer could be called a national disease.
Everyone knows someone who has suffered from
cancer. Although many can be cured today, A
cancer diagnosis always reminds us that we are
mortal. Until Cancer Do Us Part is a highly touching,
loving and timeless documentary that can be
relevant to anyone. The film shows us that even
in the midst of the darkest tragedy, lust for life, a
fighting spirit and love will still remain.

Believers
A series following the life and thoughts of people with very
different faith and religions.
“I am a Jesus freak and that has crashed many
relationships for me”, says 21-year-old pastor
Patrick Tiainen, one of the twelve participants in
the shared the documentary series Believers. Faith
is usually something very private, but in this series
we follow several people with different religions
who actively live out their faith in different ways.
They talk openly, directly and honestly about how
their faith affected their lives and the choices they
have made directly because of their faith.
We meet Marianne, who recently learned that
she has MS. She is deeply Christian and hopes for
a miracle. We meet Linus, who will be ordained and
start working as a priest. We also meet muslim
Mazin, who becomes a father and is concerned
about his son’s future as a second generation
immigrant. And we meet Carola, who heals people
through quantum physics. We meet them and
many others. Whilst very different from each other,
they all have their faith in common, as well as an
interesting history to be taken note of.

A documentary about the international rise to fame
of the teenagers in the Finnish rock band “Sturm
Und Drang”. The boys in the band became rock stars
at the age of 14. Pushed by both parents and their
record label, five young guys from Finland were
thrown onto the fast spinning wheel of the music
industry. Time spent in the studio and tours across
Europe and Japan means time away from school
and a normal teenage life. The boys encounter a
world that most young people only dream of. But
success comes at a price.
It is a timely message in an era full of talent and pop
idol contests. A time when many young people’s

Kullervo
Refugee Unknown
Finnish choreographer Tero Saarinen directs a chef-d’œuvre
of Finnish music, Kullervo, a symphonic poem by Jean
Sibelius.
Stand-up comedian Ali Jahangiri’s journey through the
European refugee route unveils scenes never covered by
the news.
Written as a choral orchestral piece and first
performed in Helsinki in 1892, Kullervo describes
the tragic tale of Finland’s mythic hero. In 2015, as
the musical world celebrated the 150th anniversary
of Finland’s greatest composer Jean Sibelius,
Tero Saarinen created his very contemporary
and visually stunning stage version of this iconic
work of Finnish culture. Saarinen’s compelling
interpretation forges together the dancers of
the Finnish National Ballet and the Tero Saarinen
Company with music performed by the FNO
orchestra, choir and soloists as well as the Helsinki
Philharmonic Chorus.

Oskari Autio is a police detective: respected,
hardworking – and with a secret he hasn’t told
anyone. In his teens he was involved in petty
crime and drugs, barely escaping a jail sentence.
His girlfriend Krista wasn’t so lucky. She fled the
country, just after giving birth to Oskari’s child.
Now Krista is back in Helsinki after fifteen
years of flight. While getting drawn into a cocaine
ring that’s just emerged, she becomes Oskari’s
informant.
Hooked is a Nordic crime drama with a ”softer

worth living again after losing your son?
