Hetkiä yössä (1961)
Experimental Finnish movie from 1961, about one night in the city. In 1960, the director Eino Ruutsalo spoke of the movie with these words: "The camera moves around the night - loose images are created - they create memories, consortia in us, or do not create. Man as such is interesting. Woman for a man. Man for a woman. There is no final destiny - there are only events. Different people touch each other - nothing is too solid and not ready. Everything hovers and gets new shapes".

Flame Top (1980)
This biographical film celebrates the little-known life of the Finnish novelist and revolutionary Maiju Lassila (Asko Sarkola), born in 1868. Lassila's early years are briefly shown, then the film richly details his active and paradoxically reclusive adult life, beginning with his sojourn in St. Petersburg, working as a businessman. Unable to stay away from politics, he caused the assassination of a high-ranking Czarist and as a result, had to run back to Finland to hide. Once established in the comparative safety of a small village, he taught school in order to support his real vocation as a writer. Always living on the edge of poverty, if not square in the middle of it, Lassila continues to avoid public contact - he keeps his identity low-key and camoflages it by publishing under a variety of pseudonyms.

Sven Tuuva the Hero (1958)
For six hundred years Sweden had controlled most of Finland until the war with Russia that ended in 1809, when Finland became a Grand Duchy of the Russian Czar. This period drama is set during that early 19th-century war and focuses on one of its heroes, Sven Tuuva. Sven is a decent yet not too brilliant soldier, and his exploits are partly balanced here by the charms of a compatriot.
