FORSKJELLIGE LIKHETER (DIFFERENT SIMILARITIES)
Dir: Malin Kleiva / Nordland kunst- og filmfagskole / Norway 2009 / 8m

In this documentary we meet different people describing their personal, internal gestures. The short interviews become small portraits of the interviewees. Hearing what they choose to tell us, we get a sense of who these people are.

Dir: Jukka Kärkkäinen / Mouka Filmi Oy / Finland 2009 / 12m

Tero, 28, from Northern Finland is going to be a father, but has not yet told anybody. However, one Saturday night in December his friend Saku comes for a visit, bringing Tero two pairs of baby overalls. The boys decide to make a toast for fatherhood. VIELÄKÖ MUISTATTE LIMPERIN HILMAN is a story of male friendship and Finnish stiffness that opens up, often with the help of alcohol. Most importantly it is a recording of a happy evening between two good friends living in the cold but warm-hearted North.
