Watching Finnish Film

Thirty people came to watch and discuss the film on November 9, 2008.   The movie won the Finnish Jussi Award for best cinematography, direction, film, and script.  It was a story of an ex-soldier. The scenes were shot in the dark, cold winter nights, where horses pulled sleighs in the snow.  It was a good storyline, excellent acting.

Next film will be shown February 2009.l  Check back for film name, date and location.
