About Away Up North – An Evening with Mavericks from Finland
After its milestone 40th anniversary, the legendary Midnight Sun Film Festival makes a one-off pilgrimage to the home of film history, the Cinema Museum in London. Founded in the Finnish Arctic Circle by Director brothers Aki and Mika Kaurismäki, the renowned international film festival has been exciting movie fans at the top of the world for decades.
London will be treated to a showcase of films curated from the vaults of the Finnish Film Archive. In the true spirit of the festival that never sleeps, there will be new discoveries and contemporary classics from Finnish mavericks. The highlight will be live accompaniment by notable Finnish musicians Lau Nau and Henri Utan K. This continues the festival’s long legacy of reinterpreting silent cinema with fresh, contemporary live scores.
The evening closes with a rare 35mm screening of Mika Kaurismäki’s wisecracking cult film The Liar (1981), written and starring his brother Aki. It is preceded by Aki’s tribute to the Lumiére brothers, The Foundry (2007) and festival favourite Finnish Frustrations (1969), a groundbreaking feminist short by Eija Kaarresalo-Kasari.
Tervetuloa – a warm welcome.
