Section: Mavericks of Finnish Cinema

Director: Peter von Bagh

Finland, 2011

Over the last quarter of a century, many of the best and the brightest came to the Midnight Sun Night Film Festival in Sodankylä to talk about their art. Out of hundreds of hours of taped public discussions with filmmakers, Von Bagh made a forceful, fastpaced, often melancholic and unexpectedly funny essay about cinema as the 20th century essence.
