Hello Screen-L Friends-- Announcing an invaluable resource for the academic world... Cinema, Of Our Time AKI KAURISMAKI Directed by Guy Girard Renowned filmmaker Aki Kaurismäki, (The Man Without a Past [Grand Prix du Jury, 2002 Cannes Film Festival] Ariel, The Match Factory Girl, Leningrad Cowboys Go America) is profiled in this illuminating documentary. The younger member of Finland's most prolific and irreverent filmmaking team, Kaurismäki, together with older brother Mika, virtually invented "The New Finnish Cinema." Since 1981, Kaurismäki has written, directed and produced twenty-two films. His minimalist style and oddball characters adrift in urban Finish landscapes have given him international cult status acclaim. This film is part of the great Cinema, Of Our Time series. Produced for French television, it evolved from Cinéastes de Notre Temps, an earlier series of original documentaries that profiled dozens of the world's great filmmakers.
