Risto Jarva, tyotoverini

Revisited a moving memorial film about Risto Jarva (1934-1977) by his trusted cinematographer Antti Peippo. It covers his 8 mm experimental films, his professional film career, his circle at the Helsinki University of Technology, the story of the Filminor company, their work on industrial and promotional films, the artistic ambition, the ambition in cultural politics, the commercial breakthrough with comedies, the synthesis in The Year of the Hare, and the stunning lethal car accident in a taxi on black ice.
