Born in Belarus, raised in Ukraine, completed his film studies in Russia and currently resides in Lithuania, Loznitsa&#8217;s films reflect the director&#8217;s deep familiarity with the Soviet Union and its different states, both then and now. Through archive material, Loznitsa&#8217;s acclaimed historical documentaries let the audience soak in the atmosphere of the time depicted and give ample room to draw one&#8217;s own conclusions. As a fiction director, he is at least equally as skilled, as his past works to be presented at the Festival prove.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-21080 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/msfilmfestival.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/AGentleCreature1-700x262.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/msfilmfestival.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/AGentleCreature1-700x262.jpg 700w, https:\/\/msfilmfestival.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/AGentleCreature1-250x93.jpg 250w, https:\/\/msfilmfestival.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/AGentleCreature1-768x287.jpg 768w, https:\/\/msfilmfestival.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/AGentleCreature1-1536x574.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/msfilmfestival.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/AGentleCreature1-120x45.jpg 120w, https:\/\/msfilmfestival.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/AGentleCreature1.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/>Loznitsa&#8217;s fictional debut <em>My Joy<\/em> (2010) is a road movie gradually that gradually picks up horror elements, as well as a journey into Russia&#8217;s brutal Soviet past pieced together from real stories. <em>In the Fog&#8217;s <\/em>(2012) depiction of 1942 Belarus echoes 1960s Soviet cinema. <em>A Gentle Creature<\/em> (2017) paints a scalding portrait of the spiritual and material decay left behind by the Soviet Union. Of Loznitsa&#8217;s two newest documentaries, <em>The Kiev Trial <\/em>(2022) gives us front row seats at the \u201dKiev Nuremberg,\u201d a war crimes trial held in the bombed-out capital of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic in January 1946. <em>The Natural History of Destruction<\/em> (2022) is a bone-chilling compilation film of the bombings of German cities at the end of the Second World War.<\/p>\n<p>Mexican cinema&#8217;s grandmaster and pathbreaker <strong>Arturo Ripstein&#8217;s<\/strong> (b. 1943) work has rarely been screened in Finland, but this wrong will be righted at the upcoming Midnight Sun Film Festival. Ripstein is an inventor of new cinematic forms and a reviser of old genres, stories, and tropes, whose work is an invitation to a grand journey. The festival offers a selection of films form Ripstein&#8217;s seven decades-spanning career, which offer a glimpse into the director&#8217;s massive \u0153uvre. It is filled with masterful melodramas, morbidity and anguish, absurd humor and grotesque drama, and agonizing twists of fate. Ripstein&#8217;s long-time cinematic partner <strong>Paz Alicia Garciadiego <\/strong>(b. 1949), the screenwriter of many of his key works, will also attend the festival.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-21082\" src=\"https:\/\/msfilmfestival.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/DevilBetweentheLegs3-700x467.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"267\" srcset=\"https:\/\/msfilmfestival.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/DevilBetweentheLegs3-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/msfilmfestival.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/DevilBetweentheLegs3-250x167.jpg 250w, https:\/\/msfilmfestival.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/DevilBetweentheLegs3-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/msfilmfestival.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/DevilBetweentheLegs3-120x80.jpg 120w, https:\/\/msfilmfestival.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/DevilBetweentheLegs3.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/>Ripstein&#8217;s third feature film his breakthrough <em>The Castle of Purity<\/em> (1972) tells the true story of a man who keeps his whole family prisoner to protect them from a world he deems simply evil. Reminiscent of Luis Bu\u00f1uel&#8217;s work, the\u00a0 charming <em>The Black Widow<\/em> (1977) is a provocation on the hypocrisy of the bourgeoisie. <em>The Place without Limits<\/em> (1978) depicts life in a worn-out brothel while looking into themes of gender roles, misogyny, and capitalism through a magical realist lens. Cockfights offer a road from rags to riches in the Juan Rulfo adaptation <em>The Realm of Fortune<\/em> (1986). In Ripstein&#8217;s newest, Garciadiego-penned film <em>Devil Between the Legs<\/em> (2019) a nameless old man and his wife have spent so much time together in their age-worn apartment, that loathing and love have become perversely inseparable.<\/p>\n<p>American <strong>Mary Sweeney&#8217;s<\/strong> (b. 1953) versatile career in film has spanned over forty years. During her career, she has worked as a director, editor, screenwriter, and producer. Her filmography is characterised by collaboration with film director David Lynch, whose surreal and mystical films, edited and produced by Sweeney, have become modern classics. Alongside filmmaking, Sweeney works as Professor at the University of Southern California.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-21084 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/msfilmfestival.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/LostHighway6-250x141.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"141\" srcset=\"https:\/\/msfilmfestival.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/LostHighway6-250x141.jpg 250w, https:\/\/msfilmfestival.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/LostHighway6-700x394.jpg 700w, https:\/\/msfilmfestival.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/LostHighway6-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/msfilmfestival.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/LostHighway6-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/msfilmfestival.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/LostHighway6-120x68.jpg 120w, https:\/\/msfilmfestival.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/LostHighway6.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\" \/>Sweeney&#8217;s humane and compassionate directorial debut <em>Baraboo<\/em> (2009) will be screened in Sodankyl\u00e4. In it, the lives of six people in different situations are intertwined in the dingy motel district of a small town. At the Festival, you also get to enjoy the fruits of Sweeney and Lynch&#8217;s collaboration, like the cinematic prequel of the legendary TV show <em>Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me<\/em> (1992), the murder mystery\u00a0<em>Lost Highway<\/em> (1997), subconsciously inspired by the O. J. Simpson trial, as well as the Sweeney-penned, sweet <em>T<\/em><em>he Straight Story<\/em> (1999), based on true events. <em>Mulholland Dr.<\/em> (2001), the phoenix that rose from the ashes of an abandoned TV pilot, earned Sweeney the 2002 BAFTA Award for best editing. Sweeney&#8217;s first work as a producer, Michael Almereyda&#8217;s <em>Nadja<\/em> (1994) is a postmodern vampire film, in which Bram Stoker\u2019s characters are thrown into the urban world of the 1990s.<\/p>\n<p>One of the most interesting names in contemporary French cinema, <strong>Emmanuel Mouret<\/strong> (b. 1970) has made subtle relationship dramas since the 1990s, in which speaking becomes visual music and spatial poetry. Mouret&#8217;s classical films don&#8217;t pander to any zeitgeist. While he long stayed under the radar, the director has in recent years risen to wider acclaim and earned C\u00e9sar nominations with his work.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"250\" height=\"167\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-21077 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/msfilmfestival.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Diary-of-a-Fleeting-Affair2-1-250x167.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/msfilmfestival.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Diary-of-a-Fleeting-Affair2-1-250x167.jpg 250w, https:\/\/msfilmfestival.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Diary-of-a-Fleeting-Affair2-1-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/msfilmfestival.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Diary-of-a-Fleeting-Affair2-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/msfilmfestival.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Diary-of-a-Fleeting-Affair2-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/msfilmfestival.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Diary-of-a-Fleeting-Affair2-1-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/msfilmfestival.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Diary-of-a-Fleeting-Affair2-1-120x80.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\" \/>Mouret\u2019s second feature film <em>Venus and Fleur<\/em> (2004) is a nostalgic summertime comedy of mistakes, reminiscent of \u00c9ric Rohmer&#8217;s work. The light but profound <em>The Art of Love<\/em> (2011) is a suprising tale of love divided into ten chapters. With the C\u00e9cile de France-starring compact comedy of manners <em>Lady J<\/em> (2018), Mouret created his own version of Denis Diderot\u2019s cautionary tale of love. Set in the French countryside, <em>Love Affair(s)<\/em> (2020) leads the viewer into a whole cosmos of relationships. In Mouret\u2019s newest film <em>Diary of a Fleeting Affair<\/em>\u00a0(2022) two people, played by the amazing Sandrine Kiberlain and Vincent Macaigne, meet in a bar and decide to embark on a relationship with a rather unusual premise regarding sex, courtship, and a future together.

The skilfully and professionally crafted black and white documentary leads us to concert rehearsals and features interviews with the man himself, as well as some of the most prominent figures in the Icelandic music scene.

Members of the festival&#8217;s Artistic Committee, brothers Aki and <strong>Mika Kaurism\u00e4ki<\/strong> will also be present at the festival. Mika Kaurism\u00e4ki&#8217;s two newest films, <em>Hassisen Kone \u2013 40 years later<\/em> (2023), one of the year&#8217;s karaoke films, and <em>The Grump: In Search of an Escort\u00a0<\/em>(2022) are part of the programme.
