The Finnish Film Foundation granted support to Illume’s films

22.12.2021

In its fourth support round of the year, The Finnish Film Foundation shared grants for two films produced by Illume. Both The Cello, a film directed by Kira Jääskeläinen and produced by Oona Saari and and a film directed by Ville Suhonen, Children of war and peace, received development support.

 

The Cello is a film about an orphan’s search for its roots. Filmmaker Kira Jääskeläinen finds a cello from a waste container and decides to take the Cello under her arms and start a journey together to find its story.

 

Children of war and peace depicts the 1941s mental landscape and reveals how the state propaganda influenced the rising generation.
