“Finland is very small but now that Finnish people want to watch Finnish films, so theses films are in now. I think we have the highest rate in Europe of people watching their own films; our language is so special. When you do a Finnish speaking film it’s very difficult for it to travel outside of festivals. A mainstream film in Finland is called an art-house film outside of Finland because of the language.”
