My first feature film, Dogs Don’t Wear Pants, will be shown from 9.9.2019 at Toronto International Film Festival, who released a neat trailer for the film. Welcome to the movies!
The feature film based on my writing and directed by JP Valkeapää, Dogs Don’t Wear Pants (previously Mona), will premiere at Cannes Film Festival Directors’ Fortnight 21.5.2019. The previous Finnish film competing in the section was Aki Kaurismäki’s Take Care of Your Scarf, Tatiana in 1994.
Pekka Strang and Krista Kosonen play the leading roles. The movie is produced by Helsinki-filmi. Welcome to the movies!
Short story Staalo has been published in Lapillinen -magazine, issue 45 by Lapland’s Literary Society.
The theme of the issue is fairy tales, and it presents stories from Lapin Satumaa -writing contest that could not be published in the children’s storybook gathered from the winning stories due to their adult content.
The magazine can be ordered from the Literary Society’s website – or read it free behind this link. Click to find out what the kids missed (only in Finnish)!
Enjoy!
