IFF '07

It is with great pleasure and excitement that I announce the first annual Imaginary Film Festival (IFF)!

I have been so inspired by my work with the Nordic Youth Film Festival (NUFF) and the Tromsø International Film Festival (TIFF) that I have decided to start my own film festival...namely a fake one. Here's how is works: Make up a movie - one you'd really like to see - and write a short, one-paragraph description for the IFF catalogue. Allow me to illustrate:

DO NOT COVER (2006) is director Juliaana Nypponen's first feature film. Shot over a three-month period in the frigid climes of arctic Finland, this film tells the remarkable and semi-true story of Scoot and Stiven, fraternal twins separated at birth and recently reunited. For the brothers, what begins as an obligatory journey across the frozen tundra in search of a forgotten piece of family land ends up as an expedition into the depths of their hearts - to a place neither knew existed...a place called brotherhood. Nypponen's film gracefully tackles such melancholic subjects as separation, death, and loss, leaving us with but one thought in our minds: DO NOT COVER.

Ok, now you try. This is gonna be the greatest imaginary film festival ever!
