Hiukkavaaran Kokardi Klubi • 65 Minutes • Film
What happens when one Finnish circus artist decides to make a film with her six Finnish costars? They re-create Finland in a show, they tour the world and film in the same way they create a circus show.
We are seven. Women. Finnish. We are circus artists, we yell uproariously. Seven ways to do this job and one collective creation to meet once in a while and practice it together. In a sauna, on skis, running, or on a boat, we ask ourselves: « why do we do this?» After having toured the world and the question, we decided to make a movie. To make cinema like we make a circus show.
