Abandoned Land |
|
|
Simo Saarikoski
Finland
2017 | 12:15
"Abandoned Land” is a documentary and experimental video. It captures
and documents abandoned places, infrastructure and phenomenon in
Finland. The video uses Finland as an allegory to approach recent
changes of the European society with visually effective images,
prosaic narration and music. When still in use, the abandoned
environment had grown to match to the demands of society and now time
has made it useless. The video observes and documents that change.
With the abandoned phenomena the video explores history and its
relation with today.

"In Afghanistan, I saw a couple making love on a roof”: we know very
little of the day-to-day work of the pilots carrying out “targeted
assassinations” with military drones. Three Americans talk about their
experience, which is paradoxically one of intimacy and cruelty, over
aerial images.

November 23 - December 3, 2017
An international jury overview the sections of short films coming from all over the world. We prefer documentaries which succeed in representing the complexity of reality and discover in a new way its sensible and perturbing aspects on the same time accentuating the ambivalent and enigmatic status of reality in avoiding sterotypes and simplifing conclusions.
