Award-winning Virpi Suutari’s new film “Children of the coniferous forest” dusts our perceptions of forests and forest protection in a refreshing way. The film’s young protagonists Ida, Minka, Otto, Ville and Otso want to save Finland’s forests. Against them they have the forest industry and the national ideology of forests as the basis for economic welfare. Are the young people heroes or traitors when they defend lichens and the dwindling population of pine tits? Suutari’s humane forest story takes the viewer on an enchanting journey into nature under the shelter of the old conifers at Aalistunturi and from the meeting room of the cellulose industry to the home couch of Ida’s grandfather Tauno, the former forest worker. Suutari is a qualified portrayer of Finland and the Finnish (including Aalto, Eedenistä pohjoiseen) and her film urges us to take a stance on our beautiful and dwindling forest nature.

There is a stair lift from the ground floor, where the toilet is available, to the café and auditorium on the second floor, and there is a induction loop for hearing aids in part of the auditorium. Even so it is a good idea to read up on accessibility before your visit.
