Picturing a Micropolis: 96100-97690
“Picturing a Micropolis: 96100-97690” is a city symphony and short experimental film that depicts Rovaniemi, the capital of Finnish Lapland. The film is not only a result of years of filming and grass-roots level observing, but also an entity in which all the details captured on film - images, memories, seasons and neighbourhoods - are swarmed to the viewers retina as an intense kinetic stream. Eventually the grainy mass of shots forms a new kind of bare image of the city, which also reflects on a larger scale Finland's real national landscapes: forest-encircled suburbs made of concrete.

I am a media artist and an experimental filmmaker from Finland. The medias I mostly work with are moving image and sound. My works have been screened in various festivals, exhibitions and microcinemas since the year 2000. When working with moving images, I prefer analogue film, tough I am open to all materials. I collect images and sounds eagerly and also like to use "found footage” materials whenever possible. In addition, I produce the audio tracks for my films myself. Some important influences and reoccurring themes in my work are the history of avant-garde/experimental film, but also cultural history in general. When describing my work shortly I usually use terms such as landscape film, diary film or personal film.
