Sodankylä Forever
Self
The Midnight Sun Film Festival is held every June in the Finnish village of Sodankylä beyond the arctic circle — where the sun never sets. Founded by Aki and Mika Kaurismäki along with Anssi Mänttäri and Peter von Bagh in 1985, the festival has played host to an international who’s who of directors and each day begins with a two-hour discussion. To mark the festival’s silver anniversary, festival director Peter von Bagh edited together highlights from these dialogues to create an epic four-part choral history of cinema drawn from the anecdotes, insights, and wisdom of his all-star cast: Coppola, Fuller, Forman, Chabrol, Corman, Demy, Kieslowski, Kiarostami, Varda, Oliveira, Erice, Rouch, Gilliam, Jancso — and 64 more. Ranging across innumerable topics (war, censorship, movie stars, formative influences, America, neorealism) these voices, many now passed away, engage in a personal dialogue across the years that’s by turns charming, profound, hilarious and moving.
Escher's Infinite Perspective
Self

Days of Darkness
Screenplay
Jean-Marc is a man without qualities living in times that are out of joint. His wife and children ignore him; he's a mid-level government functionary in Montreal doing his job without care. He has an active imagination of sexual conquest, but his only real feelings come when he visits his aged mother, whose health is failing. When his wife leaves abruptly to work in Toronto, Jean-Marc sets out to reorder things with his daughters, his social life, and at work. In a world that at best is a farce, does he stand a chance?

현대의 평범한 도시 캐나다의 몬트리올을 배경으로 종교적 신념과 확신을 찾으려는 젊은 연극인 다니엘은 몬트리올 교회로부터 연중 행사인 연극연출을 맡아줄 것을 제안 받는다. 예수의 고행을 담은 연극의 대본이 마음에 들지않자 그는 자신이 직접 다시 쓴 대본에 따라 예수역을 연기할 배우를 찾아나선다. 다니엘이 사랑하는 프랑스 여인 밀레유. 그녀는 텔레비전 CF 모델로 뛰어난 몸매를 지니고 있어 캐스팅이 된다. 또한 지난해 교회 연극에 참여한 바 있는 관능적인 여인 콘스탄스, 포르노 영화에 목소리를 더빙하는 성우 마린, 햄릿을 연기하고 싶어하는 풋내기 배우 르네, 이렇게 5명이 뭉쳐 연극 연습에 들어간다. 그러나 예수의 고행을 연기하기엔 캐스팅된 배우들의 행적이 전혀 맞지 않는다고 판단한 교회측은 연극을 막기로 결심한다. 이때부터 예수의 행적에 새로운 해석을 가하며 예수에 심취하는 다니엘에게는 그야말로 그리스도의 고행처럼 타락한 현실과 싸우는 고행이 뒤따른다. 오디션 도중 밀레유에게 옷을 벗으라고 명령한 시험관에게 항의하며 집기를 부수고 유치장 신세를 지는 등 온갖 타락과 유혹에 맞서 싸운다. 이런 우여곡절 끝에 연극은 막을 올리고 처음에는 별반 기대를 하지 않던 교회측도 공연이 계속 될 수록 관객들이 폭발적인 반응을 보이자 놀라운 시선으로 바라보게 된다. '불위를 걷는 예수' '십자가에 못박히는 예수' 등 예수의 고행이 상황마다 바뀌어 나타날 때 격정을 이기지 못하고 주님을 부르며 쫓아 나오는 관객이 있는 등 열렬한 반응을 얻는다. 연극은 대성공이고 시종일관 부정적으로 바라보던 기자들까지도 감동되어 삽시간에 현장은 흥분과 감동의 박수소리로 들뜬다. 그러나 이런 감동도 잠시, 경찰들이 몰려와 극단 배우들과 엎치락 뒤치락 몸싸움을 하게 된다. 이런 와중에 공연장에 설치했던 십자가가 무너져 다니엘을 덮쳐 버린다.

Today it is the city of Montreal, but 3 centuries ago the tiny band of missionary founders called it Ville-Marie, the holy city of Mary. This film goes back to its beginning and those who felt called to plant an oasis of Christianity in the North American wilderness. In an imaginative, at times almost surrealistic, way the film recalls the highborn company from France, and shows what survives of Ville-Marie in the Montreal of today.
