Oneliner: Helsinki Twilight 1984 - we became a new art form
Synopsis: Helsinki Twilight 1984 takes us back in time into the fascinating period of time between the years 1979 - 1985, when Helsinki, and the rest of Finland moved towards an increasingly diverse and free social climate, pioneering beautiful boys in makeup and fancy girls.

During this time, the new street-level phenomena such as small magazines, pirate radio and independent fashion began to blend into the society – new clubs were set up, new art forms were born - and finally people felt they were works of art themselves.

Huttu-Hiltunen Heikki
Finland
25 min

Basic Information Subtitle language: English
Genre: Documentary
Oneliner: A documentary about a 14-year-old Skolt Sámi, who has different roles in her life.
Synopsis: Henna Mäki is a 14-year-old Skolt Sámi girl from the northernmost Lapland near the border of Norway and Russia. About half of all of the Skolt Sámi live in the village of Lake Sevetti. Henna is one the very few youngsters who continue with the ancient singing tratidion, leu’dd. Henna practices leu’dds listening to old tapes with her grandfather Elias and aunt Tyyne. They travel across the border to Norway to perform to tourists. At the same time Henna is also a modern young woman; like everyone else at her age, she loves pop-music and is interested in snowboarding and snowmobiles. She also likes traveling itself. It seems as so the tradition of leu’dd will continue in the future as well. Henna knows how to combine the different roles in her life.
