oh 𝕯𝖆𝖚𝖌𝖍𝖙𝖊𝖗𝖘 —how you’ve taught me, nourished me, I’ll never be the same 💘

prologue///
rewriting a collective myth
collaborative working of an all-female & non-binary team
exploring female gaze, being seen, witnessed 
decentralizing patriarchal structure 
utopian fantasy of defiance

what a year it’s been, and now it is almost time for our film to be released ❣️

inspired the folklore tale of Aino of Kalevala, “the only one” created from stories of many, claimed by one- a story of resistance, autonomy, and self-determination, at the start of our alternative continuum,

making film in the remoteness of South Karelia, home of my family, where the immense beauty of the scenery, vast storytelling tradition, and the geopolitical oddities- past and current- are deeply felt. I learned to swim in this body of water, taught by the women who learned before me, and always keep returning

led by play, embracing naivety, craftiness, girl core, anarchist fantasies, community, and craving,

an unforgettable, mad, stunning hardcore week of shooting- enduring, flowing and morphing, meeting and digesting it all again in the months that followed in post, and all that was done silently before to make this a reality,

brining my work to Finland for the first time after 9 years away, connecting our international/Finnish team in an independent production, what a mountain we climbed, what pleasure 

THANK YOU
to the stars of my heart, our team; I’m in awe of each of you, and I will cherish this always @maia_taieb @hetaemilie @nadfarghaly @salya__brf @clar3rt__ @kuutamoeuropaeus @lielfibak @vilma.jaa @chanelvyent @saanalyly @ainasoja.v  @sickymuah @paerttylinyyrikki2 @monnionkauniskala @sarrahwilkman @aslaug.magnusd @bridget__ferrill @aribooo0 

to my family and friends for support, this would not have been possible without your generous help 

to the funders, sponsors, supporters, oh boy, did we put it to good use! @afk020, @avekfi, @cultuurfonds, Leven het Geven, @kulttuurirahasto

one for the books. more soon… <3
