The writer-director coming to the Midnight Sun Film Festival in June was one of the key figures of the German New Cinema, along with the likes of Rainer Werner Fassbinder, Wim Wenders and Werner Herzog, who renewed the cinematic tradition and addressed social issues. But von Trotta has been asking tough questions and challenging the status quo throughout her career. A selection of his most essential films will bear witness to this. The programme includes the Heinrich B\u00f6ll adaptation <em>The Lost Honour of Katharina Blum<\/em> (1975) depicting a West Germany trembling with fear and the loss of privacy, the terrorist film <em>Sisters<\/em> (1981), which won the main prize at the Venice Film Festival, and the biographical film <em>Hannah Arendt<\/em> (2012) of the yet again topical political philosopher.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Christopher &#8220;Chris&#8221; Petit<\/strong> (b. 1949) used to work as a critic for Time Out London but is now known for his essayistic films. Petit enjoys a cult following, particularly because of his debut feature <em>Radio On<\/em> (1979). This road movie charting Britain in the 1970s is famous for its music, ranging from David Bowie to Kraftwerk. The Festival will see a wide selection of the author&#8217;s work, from <em>Radio On<\/em> and <em>An Unsuitable Job for a Woman<\/em> (1982) to the poignantly personal <em>D is for Distance<\/em> (2025), directed with his partner Emma Matthews and partly filmed in Sodankyl\u00e4. The film uses free association to recount the story of the couple&#8217;s son and his epileptic seizures.<\/p>\n<p>The Festival is honoured also to have the French actress <strong>Dominique Sanda<\/strong> (b. 1951), a legend of the silver screen, as one of its guests. She began her career already at 17, starring in Robert Bresson&#8217;s <em>A Gentle Woman<\/em> (1969) and quickly became known as the &#8220;French Garbo&#8221;. In addition to Sanda&#8217;s debut, the Festival&#8217;s programme presents a selection of her best films, which are also great successes for their directors. These include Vittorio De Sica&#8217;s <em>The Garden of the Finzi-Continis<\/em> (1970), Bernardo Bertolucci&#8217;s <em>The Conformist<\/em> (1970), Mauro Bolognini&#8217;s <em>The Inheritance<\/em> (1976,) and Jacques Demy&#8217;s <em>A Room in Town<\/em> (1982), of which The Inheritance netted Sanda The Best Actress Award at Cannes. <em>The Peacock&#8217;s Paradise<\/em> (2021), directed by Laura Bispur, represents Sanda&#8217;s latest work, a powerful family drama in which Sanda plays the family matriarch.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_28344\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-28344\" style=\"width: 250px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-28344 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/msfilmfestival.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Temple_Absolute-Beginners3-250x141.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"141\" srcset=\"https:\/\/msfilmfestival.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Temple_Absolute-Beginners3-250x141.jpg 250w, https:\/\/msfilmfestival.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Temple_Absolute-Beginners3-700x394.jpg 700w, https:\/\/msfilmfestival.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Temple_Absolute-Beginners3-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/msfilmfestival.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Temple_Absolute-Beginners3-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/msfilmfestival.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Temple_Absolute-Beginners3-120x68.jpg 120w, https:\/\/msfilmfestival.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Temple_Absolute-Beginners3.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-28344\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Absolute Beginners (1986)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The Briton <strong>Julien Temple<\/strong> (b. 1953) surfed his way into the consciousness of cinema audiences on the crest of the punk rock wave in the late 1970s. The counterculture-savvy Londoner has made his mark on music and film history in a career spanning almost 200 titles, not least with his videos for great names like The Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney, Whitney Houston and Neil Young. Temple&#8217;s best-known works include <em>Absolute Beginners<\/em> (1986) and <em>Joe Strummer: The Future Is Unwritten<\/em> (2007). The former documents the London subculture of the late 1950s in a time of social upheaval. The biographical documentary about The Clash chief Joe Strummer has the same irresistible energy as the honorary consul of punk.<\/p>\n<p>The prestigious French film magazine Cahiers du Cin\u00e9ma chose <strong>Alan Guiraudie&#8217;s<\/strong> (b. 1964) latest film, <em>Misericordia<\/em> (2024), as last year&#8217;s best film. The humorous thriller set among morally ambiguous people was a natural follow-up to the author&#8217;s acclaimed psychological thriller <em>Stranger by the Lake<\/em> (2013), which received the title of the best film of 2013 from the magazine and the Cannes Film Festival&#8217;s Un Certain Regard: Best Director Prize. The filmmaker, who explores both the French countryside and the themes of queer desire, will also be seen in the heterosexual farce comedy <em>Nobody&#8217;s Hero<\/em> (2022), a departure for him, and his breakthrough work, <em>The Old Dream That Moves<\/em> (2001), lauded by Jean-Luc Godard.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_28348\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-28348\" style=\"width: 250px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-28348 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/msfilmfestival.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Montparnasse-Bienvenue_-03-250x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/msfilmfestival.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Montparnasse-Bienvenue_-03-250x150.jpg 250w, https:\/\/msfilmfestival.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Montparnasse-Bienvenue_-03-700x420.jpg 700w, https:\/\/msfilmfestival.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Montparnasse-Bienvenue_-03-768x461.jpg 768w, https:\/\/msfilmfestival.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Montparnasse-Bienvenue_-03-1536x922.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/msfilmfestival.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Montparnasse-Bienvenue_-03-2048x1229.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/msfilmfestival.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Montparnasse-Bienvenue_-03-120x72.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-28348\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Montparnasse Bienven\u00fce (2017)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Lyon-born writer-director <strong>L\u00e9onor Serraille<\/strong> (b. 1986) won The Cam\u00e9ra d&#8217;Or (Golden Camera) Award for Best First Feature at the Cannes Film Festival for his debut <em>Montparnasse Bienven\u00fce<\/em> (2017). Since then, she has carved out her niche among the most interesting names in cinema&#8217;s superpower. In Montparnasse Bienven\u00fce, Serraille introduced an enchantingly restless protagonist and tilted the narrative in a subtly comic direction. Serraille&#8217;s latest film, <em>Ari<\/em> (2025), is related to her debut, but it brings a documentary touch and a dose of melancholy to the story of the maladjusted protagonist.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_28351\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-28351\" style=\"width: 250px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-28351 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/msfilmfestival.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Kronos_Kairos-250x130.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"130\" srcset=\"https:\/\/msfilmfestival.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Kronos_Kairos-250x130.jpg 250w, https:\/\/msfilmfestival.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Kronos_Kairos-700x363.jpg 700w, https:\/\/msfilmfestival.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Kronos_Kairos-768x399.jpg 768w, https:\/\/msfilmfestival.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Kronos_Kairos-1536x797.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/msfilmfestival.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Kronos_Kairos-2048x1063.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/msfilmfestival.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Kronos_Kairos-120x62.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-28351\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Kronos Kairos (2025)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>One of the most original artists of the Midnight Sun Film Festival&#8217;s jubilee year comes from the domestic scene. <strong>Herra Ylpp\u00f6<\/strong> (b. 1973) is already known as a musician \u2013 e.g., the singer-songwriter of the song Sodankyl\u00e4 by the band Maj Karma \u2013 as well as a writer, visual artist and music video director.
