The biggest Finnish film festival Love & Anarchy has been part of my life for over a decade, and this summer I again led a team of fifteen talented photographers. Between schedules, crowds and late-night screenings, I kept shooting my own quiet moments.
Some highlights in front of my lens:
Gregory Kershaw from Gaucho Gaucho,
Tarik Saleh, director of Eagles of the Republic,
and the wonderfully chaotic, funny and unstoppable Suzuki=Bakudan crew — actors Yuki Yamada and Jiro Sato, producer S***a Okada, plus the rest of the team who arrived like a small joyful storm during the world premiere of Suzuki=Bakudan (Japan unleashed, indeed).
I also photographed the SISU2 world premiere with Jalmari Helander speaking in the always-mesmerising Bio Rex, and revisited the R&A founders for a new portrait — ten years after shooting them for the festival’s history book.
Intense festival, beautiful people, and images that feel like small anchors in the storm.
These ones are mine.
