Remembrance

Director, film historian, professor Peter von Bagh takes us on a stroll down the memory lane, to the 1950's small-town Oulu, the town where he grew up. This extensive film essay utilizes a variety of archive materials: Film footage, still photos, paintings and other art works. The film paints a kaleidoscopic view of the arctic town and its spirit, awakening one youth, one era, one town magically. The movie is personal and local as well as general and universal. (Illume Oy)
