Every day in Finland alone, two people commit suicide. Thousands of people are affected by suicide yearly. Once I Dreamt of Life is a feature length documentary film about suicide. It’s an account about one’s personal relation to suicide, but also studies suicide as social phenomena: The motives, warning signs & consequences. The film follows the journey of a young man, an animated character based on a real person, on his path towards suicide. The journey is described by people who’ve had encounters with suicide – parents who lost their child, young adults who considered or even tried committing suicide. When linked together, these experiences offer a collage of our perception of suicide. They tell about how people cope with the past and find a reason to go on with their lives. The intention is not to romanticize suicide or judge. It encourages people to talk about painful and difficult experiences and reminds us how important it is to be heard.

The leisurely environment of an almost lethargic horsetrack provides a superb setting to Jarkko T. Laine and J-P Passi's Ajomie. The filmmakers have bravely left their story - centring on a trackmaster (Matti Laine) caught between two women - clean of any superfluous modern frills. At home plans are being made for a shared future, while at the track's maintenance pit passions flare, and in no time the fumbling trackmaster finds himself at the centre of a slowly developing chaos. On top of everything he is plagued by that most Finnish of maladies: indecision.

Vaarala, a reserved romantic photographer, has an odd artistic vision of loneliness: he takes serial photos of an empty park bench in remote spaces of nature. When he meets and falls in love with the spirited, unruly Ansa, his ‘bench’ is suddenly filled. But in order to be with her he has to not only overcome his own frailties, but also the impending danger of Ansa’s volatile ex-con ex, and then Ansa herself, a woman prone to impulsiveness and impetuousness.

The fate of a culture lies on the shoulders of few determined individuals.

Молодая учительница Таня везет школьный театральный кружок на фестиваль в Сочи. Для порядка с ними едет завуч той же школы, Мария Генриховна. Таня не в восторге от начальственного ока, но Мария Генриховна довольно быстро ломает все стереотипы о завучах. В ее лице Таня, наконец, находит себе достойного взрослого — то ли образец для подражания, то ли маму, то ли наставника. Меж тем фестиваль настойчиво требует вернуться в реальность — организаторы требуют изменить название спектакля, афишу, и желательно, мировоззрение. Выбрать путь компромисса ради детей или занять принципиальную позицию? В любом случае Тане и Марии Генриховне придется держать ответ перед двенадцатью подростками, переживающими на фестивале собственные первые драмы.
