A visually stunning film, composed of individual oil paintings, from the makers of the award-winning Loving Vincent.
During the early 19th century in the Polish village of Lipce, we get to follow the inhabitants through the changes of the seasons, everyday life and celebrations. From spring sowing through summer, autumn harvest time and winter. In addition to an insight into the farming community with its crafts and rituals, the plot revolves around the young Jagna and her quest to marry the village’s richest man, the much older Maciej.

Christa Nedergård (vocals) and Joel Karlsson (guitar) are Black Velvet, a duo from Vaasa that offers acoustic covers of the biggest and best songs in rock history.
In December 1984, a Soviet missile crashed into Lake Inari, and the international incident is complete. The drama-comedy tells the story of single parent Niina, who gets a new start in her life as a reporter for a local newspaper – and faces a possible scoop in a village where nothing ever happens. Niina plunges deep into the international missile crisis. Lapland and the small village are upended, and foreign journalists flock to the local hotel. In the midst of her research, Niina meets the fighter pilot Kai, and at the same time her ex-husband Tapio is about to be released from prison. Niina has to find her boundaries, for her own sake, and so the truth about the missile will see the light of day. Ohjus is a film about borders and boundaries, or the lack of them. A film where political satire meets warm humour.

Vihreitä arvoja korostava koko perheen animaatio Mavka: Metsän laulu on ukrainalais-amerikkalainen yhteistuotanto ja Euroopan laajuinen kassamenestys, joka kannustaa rakentamaan siltoja yli rajojen.
Muinaisista ajoista saakka Ukrainan metsät ovat kätkeneet sisäänsä uskomattomia salaisuuksia ja myyttisiä olentoja. Mavka on haltia ja metsän sielu, jonka tehtävä on suojella metsän sydäntä kaikilta vaaroilta, etenkin ihmisiltä. Lucas on läheisen kylän asukas, joka haaveilee urasta muusikkona. Kun heidän maailmansa kohtaavat, tapahtuu jotain odottamatonta: he rakastuvat. Mutta ihmisten ja metsän asukkaiden joutuessa törmäyskurssille vanhan sahalaitoksen perijättären juonien seurauksena, myös Mavka ja Lucas ajautuvat vastakkain. Voittaako rakkaus epäilyksen ja pelon?

Sandra, Samuel and their 11-year-old son have spent a year in a remote villa in the French Alps. When Samuel is found dead in the snow in the yard of the house, the police begin to investigate whether he fell or was pushed down. During the court case, not only the circumstances of Samuel’s death are clarified, but also, and especially, the psychological probing of the conflicting relationship between Sandra and Samuel.

The drama-comedy tells the story of single parent Niina, who gets a new start in her life as a reporter for a local newspaper – and faces a possible scoop in a village where nothing ever happens. Niina plunges deep into the international missile crisis. Lapland and the small village are upended, and foreign journalists flock to the local hotel. In the midst of her research, Niina meets the fighter pilot Kai, and at the same time her ex-husband Tapio is about to be released from prison. Niina has to find her boundaries, for her own sake, and so the truth about the missile will see the light of day. Ohjus is a film about borders and boundaries, or the lack of them. A film where political satire meets warm humour.

Vihreitä arvoja korostava koko perheen animaatio Mavka: Metsän laulu on ukrainalais-amerikkalainen yhteistuotanto ja Euroopan laajuinen kassamenestys, joka kannustaa rakentamaan siltoja yli rajojen.
Muinaisista ajoista saakka Ukrainan metsät ovat kätkeneet sisäänsä uskomattomia salaisuuksia ja myyttisiä olentoja. Mavka on haltia ja metsän sielu, jonka tehtävä on suojella metsän sydäntä kaikilta vaaroilta, etenkin ihmisiltä. Lucas on läheisen kylän asukas, joka haaveilee urasta muusikkona. Kun heidän maailmansa kohtaavat, tapahtuu jotain odottamatonta: he rakastuvat. Mutta ihmisten ja metsän asukkaiden joutuessa törmäyskurssille vanhan sahalaitoksen perijättären juonien seurauksena, myös Mavka ja Lucas ajautuvat vastakkain. Voittaako rakkaus epäilyksen ja pelon?

Ett tecken från Gud får två norska systrar att köpa en lägenhet i svenska Gullspång. När de möter lägenhetsägaren på mäklarkontoret är hon en kopia av deras döda storasyster, som begick självmord 30 år tidigare. Vad som börjar som en sagolik familjeåterförening utvecklas till ett rafflande drama om lögner, hemligheter och trons betydelse. Källa: Svensk filmdatabas

A visually stunning film, composed of individual oil paintings, from the makers of the award-winning Loving Vincent.
During the early 19th century in the Polish village of Lipce, we get to follow the inhabitants through the changes of the seasons, everyday life and celebrations. From spring sowing through summer, autumn harvest time and winter. In addition to an insight into the farming community with its crafts and rituals, the plot revolves around the young Jagna and her quest to marry the village’s richest man, the much older Maciej.

Christa Nedergård (vocals) and Joel Karlsson (guitar) are Black Velvet, a duo from Vaasa that offers acoustic covers of the biggest and best songs in rock history.
In December 1984, a Soviet missile crashed into Lake Inari, and the international incident is complete. The drama-comedy tells the story of single parent Niina, who gets a new start in her life as a reporter for a local newspaper – and faces a possible scoop in a village where nothing ever happens. Niina plunges deep into the international missile crisis. Lapland and the small village are upended, and foreign journalists flock to the local hotel. In the midst of her research, Niina meets the fighter pilot Kai, and at the same time her ex-husband Tapio is about to be released from prison. Niina has to find her boundaries, for her own sake, and so the truth about the missile will see the light of day. Ohjus is a film about borders and boundaries, or the lack of them. A film where political satire meets warm humour.

Vihreitä arvoja korostava koko perheen animaatio Mavka: Metsän laulu on ukrainalais-amerikkalainen yhteistuotanto ja Euroopan laajuinen kassamenestys, joka kannustaa rakentamaan siltoja yli rajojen.
Muinaisista ajoista saakka Ukrainan metsät ovat kätkeneet sisäänsä uskomattomia salaisuuksia ja myyttisiä olentoja. Mavka on haltia ja metsän sielu, jonka tehtävä on suojella metsän sydäntä kaikilta vaaroilta, etenkin ihmisiltä. Lucas on läheisen kylän asukas, joka haaveilee urasta muusikkona. Kun heidän maailmansa kohtaavat, tapahtuu jotain odottamatonta: he rakastuvat. Mutta ihmisten ja metsän asukkaiden joutuessa törmäyskurssille vanhan sahalaitoksen perijättären juonien seurauksena, myös Mavka ja Lucas ajautuvat vastakkain. Voittaako rakkaus epäilyksen ja pelon?

Nominated for five Oscars and winner of two Golden Globes.
Sandra, Samuel and their 11-year-old son have spent a year in a remote villa in the French Alps. When Samuel is found dead in the snow in the yard of the house, the police begin to investigate whether he fell or was pushed down. During the court case, not only the circumstances of Samuel’s death are clarified, but also, and especially, the psychological probing of the conflicting relationship between Sandra and Samuel. In the thriller directed by Justine Triet, words are used like weapons, and shocking truths see the light of day.
