Sun, Pride and Masterpieces \u2014 Festival Saturday"},"content":{"rendered":"<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Saturday of this Festival of Nightless Nights was full of sun, hustle and bustle and the most unforgettable film experiences! The morning started with a very interesting discussion with one of the festival&#8217;s main guests, <\/span><b>Abderrahmane Sissakko<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. At the same time, the Red Tent was filled with the documentary film <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Beauty of Errors<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (2026) by <\/span><b>Jukka K\u00e4rkk\u00e4inen<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At noon, Koulu screened <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mr Puntila<\/span><\/i> <i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and His Servant Matti (1979)<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, directed by <\/span><b>Ralf L\u00e5ngbacka<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. At the beginning of the screening, The Midnight Sun Film Festival Artistic Director <\/span><b>Timo Malmi<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> said that <\/span><b>Lasse P\u00f6ysti<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, who played the lead role in the film, had told him, back when he visited the festival as a film maker in 2008, that there would be a version of the film that would be about 15 minutes longer. According to<\/span><b> P\u00f6ysti<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the longer version contained beautiful landscapes, fog and night scenes. However, producer <\/span><b>Anssi M\u00e4ntt\u00e4ri<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, who was present at the beginning of the film, denied the existence of such a lost, longer version. <\/span><b>Arja Saijonmaa<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, who starred in the film, was also present and told the audience about her memories of the filming.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On Saturday afternoon, as the clouds gave way to the sun, the sports field began to fill with football players. The traditional El Cl\u00e1sico football match began to form with mixed teams, and the game started off with one team scoring a goal almost immediately. At the same time, the colorful Sodankyl\u00e4 Pride parade set off from the K-market yard. \u201cHey, hey, hey, Sodis is gay!\u201d rang out around the village, and people joined in as the parade progressed towards the festival.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At noon in the Big Tent, German director <\/span><b>\u0130lker \u00c7atak<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> presented his film <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yellow Letters<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which won the Golden Bear at the Berlin Film Festival. The film follows the crisis of theatre makers in the grip of collapsing democracy and censorship. The film takes place in modern-day Turkey, but in a Brechtian way, German cities represent Turkish metropolises.<\/span><b> \u00c7atak<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> spoke about how in this way he was able to simultaneously deal with the crisis of democracy in Germany and more generally. He praised the Turkish-born actors for being able to respond flexibly and calmly to changes, as a result of being accustomed to an unstable political situation. <\/span><b>\u00c7atak <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and <\/span><b>Olaf M\u00f6ller<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, who conducted the interview, disagreed on whether one film can change the world. However, they agreed that films provide new ideas and perspectives that can serve as seeds for change.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the afternoon, Koulu hosted a<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Metamorphosis Masterclass<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> put together by <\/span><b>Jennifer Lynde Barker<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The diverse selection of animations by female directors consisted of nine films from nine different countries. The ensemble celebrated the diversity of metamorphosis and animation. It examined how stories shape us and our understanding of the world. The characters in the animations, such as a little cat and a sleepless bear, elicited enthusiastic reactions from the audience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the afternoon, Isabel, directed by <\/span><b>Gabe Klinger<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and co-written with lead actress <\/span><b>Marina Person<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, was shown at the Red Tent. The film is about <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Isabel<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a sommelier with a passion for natural wines and dreams of owning her own wine bar. After the screening, <\/span><b>Klinger <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and<\/span><b> Person <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">talked about how quickly, and often improvising with strangers, the film was shot. One of the filming locations was <\/span><b>Klinger&#8217;s<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> own home, and in one scene, Isabel (<\/span><b>Person<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) drags a refrigerator into the S\u00e3o Paulo subway, where the reactions of subway workers are filmed. &#8220;Remember, always film first without permission, and ask about it or say sorry afterwards,&#8221; encouraged Klinger, adding that he eventually contacted the subway; they enthusiastically decided to sponsor the film despite the secret filming.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At half past two, the stance of art was discussed at Kitisen Keidas, with the help of Finnish guest artists, in the discussion <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Artists Must Have a Backbone<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The discussion, moderated by <\/span><b>Liselott Forsman, included Yasmin Najjar, Pia Andell, Tommi Korpela, Aleksi Salmenper\u00e4, Jukka K\u00e4rkk\u00e4inen, Marko Talli and Arja Saijonmaa.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> In times when it may feel like ever darker news surrounds us from all sides, art at its best gives the individual the opportunity to structure their own place in this chaos.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At Kitisen Keidas, a panel discussion about <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Filmihullu<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8216;s new paperbacks began at four: <\/span><b>Sampsa Laurinen&#8217;s<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> J<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ean-Luc Godard \u2013 Film History(s)<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><b>Mia \u00d6hman&#8217;s<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> edited <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sex! <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The discussion included, among others, <\/span><b>Tytti Rantanen, Iida Simes and Anssi M\u00e4ntt\u00e4ri.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The Godard book is <\/span><b>Sampsa Laurinen&#8217;s<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> study of the contradictory combination of sounds, images and words in <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jean-Luc Godard&#8217;s monumental film Histoire(s) du cin\u00e9ma (1988\u201398)<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and how <\/span><b>Godard<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8216;s puzzle pieces could be connected. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Sex!<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> paperback, edited by <\/span><b>Mia \u00d6hman<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, contains a selection of Filmihullu magazine&#8217;s texts on film eroticism from over the years and a few new articles, including <\/span><b>Rantanen&#8217;s<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> text on <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the Emmanuelle<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> film series that caused a stir at the time, and one of the late<\/span><b> Velimatti Makkonen&#8217;s<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> last articles, on the films of <\/span><b>Alan Guiraudi<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">e. The rest of the discussion was accompanied by Judge <\/span><b>Nurmio<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, who was performing at the same time on the neighboring Yle car, but the background noise did not interfere with the discussion. As a final highlight, the chairman of the Risto Jarva Society, <\/span><b>Ville Suhonen<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, presented an autographed photograph of Jean-Luc Godard from the society&#8217;s archives.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At six o&#8217;clock, the big tent was filled with the festival&#8217;s third and last silent film screening with live accompaniment, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pandora&#8217;s Box<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> from 1929, directed by<\/span><b> G. W. Pabst.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> According to the introduction by <\/span><b>Timo Malmi<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the artistic director of the film festival, it is a tragic story and a masterpiece. The first-class accompaniment of the performance was provided by pianist <\/span><b>Maud Nelissen<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and multi-instrumentalist <\/span><b>Eduardo Raon<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, who played classical harp and electronic effects in the performance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A surprise Finnish preview premiere was revealed to the full hall of the School after eleven. The hall showed <\/span><b>Erol Minta\u015f&#8217;s<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> film<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Maan laulu<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (internationally known as Earth Song). This Kurdish-Finnish drama film had its world premiere at the Rotterdam Film Festival in January 2026, and will be released domestically in the fall of 2026. The film tells the story of a family living in Helsinki who has to face the truth in a variety of ways.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Saturday&#8217;s highlights also included the evening karaoke screening, which featured the joyful <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Priscilla &#8211; Queen of the Desert.<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The film&#8217;s opening singer was the sparkling <\/span><b>Pola Ivanka<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, who incited the audience to sing and dance. The audience got into the film wholeheartedly and the Big Tent was filled with laughter and hilarious exclamations during the screening. The film culminated in <\/span><b>Abba<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8216;s timeless classic and laughter.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Curated by <\/span><b>Mika Taanila<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Minirusetti &#8211; Night School for Experimental Film<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the audience fell into the hypnotic atmosphere of the early hours. In her introduction, <\/span><b>Taanila <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">said that she had also admired the work of <\/span><b>Anneli Nygren<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the director of the film <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Minirusetti<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (1978), on the pages of the cultural magazine <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aloha!<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, where <\/span><b>Nygren<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> had a social circle column called &#8220;<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Anne Lee&#8221;<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><b>Nygren<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> herself had made English subtitles for the children&#8217;s programme parody Minirusetti for the Sodankyl\u00e4 performance. In <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Objet d&#8217;enigme<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, directed by <\/span><b>Chiara Caterina<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, 3D models of keys, doors, hands and twisted faces spin in a black void. The film played with clues to<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">a murder mystery, without revealing any answers. The screening ended with <\/span><b>Johann Lurf&#8217;s<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> brand new work <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Forever\u2026Forever<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, in which a camera left in place films the events in the Ottenstein storage tank without moving for almost two years. In the film, natural phenomena were transformed into sound, as <\/span><b>Taanila<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> describes it: &#8220;The movements of celestial bodies form the score in the film.&#8221; The essence of the Night School films moved between meditative, disturbing and restless. The school&#8217;s after-school session was organized in the traditional way on the shores of Kitinen.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>Picture: Taika Marttinen \/ MSFF<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Saturday of this Festival of Nightless Nights was full of sun, hustle and bustle and the most unforgettable film experiences!
