In an extraordinary film and live music performance, the profoundly fascinating film Burial, about a deserted nuclear power plant, merges with music by "cosmic rave guru" Timo Kaukolampi.
Is it possible to bury the immortal? Burial is a study of human’s extreme capabilities and innovative efforts, in an exploration of the paradox between our technological advances and increasingly complex relationships with nature. The film invites the audience to join an immersive sensorial trip into the unique and vast Ignalina Nuclear Power Plant (INPP) in Lithuania, now undergoing a decommissioning process. Cold War-period energy structures still impact current geopolitical processes and impose lasting planetary threats.
Timo Kaukolampi (FI) is a Helsinki-based experimental music artist and self-taught composer, producer and meta band leader. His goal and ethos are to destroy and re-create his musical output with every new project and release. In 2018 he (with Tuomo Puranen) won the Jussi prize for best original soundtrack for the film Euthanizer by Teemu Nikki, which was also selected to represent Finland at the Oscars and screened at Tromsø International Film Festival that year.
Emilija Škarnulytė (b. 1987) is an artist and filmmaker. She has studied at the Brera Academy of Fine Arts in Milan and Academy of Arts (MFA) at UiT The Arctic University of Norway in Tromsø. Working between documentary and the imaginary, Škarnulytė makes films and immersive installations exploring deep time and invisible structures, from the cosmic and geologic to the ecological and political.
