Following in the footsteps of its Nordic neighbors, Finland is fast becoming a destination of choice for foreign co-productions, not least thanks to its up-front cash-back tax incentive introduced in 2017.
Despite a slight drop in 2020 due to the Covid pandemic, figures show a 40-plus growth of the audiovisual industry in the past five years, distributed evenly between co-production and service production.
In addition to the national rebate of 25, productions can get up to 40 incentive money thanks to top-ups from regional film commissions.
Other support mechanisms include public broadcaster Yle and the Promotion Centre for Audiovisual Culture (Avek), as well as a growing number of private investors such as VOD platform Elisa Viihde and Aurora Studios, which are working actively on getting Finnish content out to the world.
One of the turning points in international co-productions came in 2020 with a Hollywood film entirely shot in Finland. Riley Stearns’ “Dual,” which went...

It may not be widely-known that Spike Lee's younger brother, Cinque Lee, is also a filmmaker (as well as actor, producer, editor, composer and more), and has written and directed 4 feature-length films since the late 80s, all independently financed, produced and distributed. There was a drama (maybe he's most accessible work) called Nowhere Fast, made for just $29,000 in 1995, and is described as "a film powerfully weaved together through stories of its desperate characters and depicting the dangerous hours they face during one fateful day." The list of desperate characters includes junkies, prostitutes, thieves, dealers, dopers, mental patients, street people, and a failed...

Back in the late 1980s when Spike Lee was helping to revolutionize the indie film world with vibrant, colorful, emotional and music-filled epics like School Daze and Do the Right Thing, his brother Cinqué Lee was traveling in the exact opposite direction with his own debut directorial effort, the drab and dreary Window on Your Present.
But, be warned: “Drab and dreary” are merely descriptions of this lovely, resurrected masterpiece and not criticisms to be lobbed against it. The film has gone largely unseen in the past 30 years, but has been recently released by BrinkDVD. It’s a shame it’s been out of the spotlight all this time since, based on the accomplished, thoughtful filmmaking on display in this first film. Had Window on the Present been released when it was made, Cinqué could have had an equally stellar career along with his more famous brother. Talent in the...

Made back in the late ’80s, Window on Your Present is the debut feature film written and directed by Cinqué Lee, the younger brother of Spike Lee, and just recently released by Brink DVD.
The film is a poetic narrative about a world that exists without love or color. In this dreary landscape, a man and a woman form a special bond that allows them to find an escape from their miserable existence.

New On DVDMaximum Shame
Movies don’t get much cultier than Carlos Atanes‘ post-apocalyptic S&M musical. Filmed in a dirty warehouse filling in for the edge of the universe just as said universe is about to fall into a massive black hole, Maximum Shame plays out like an oblique chess match with a demented black leather clad Queen (the phenomenal Marina Gatell) forcing the other players to sit in barbed wire cardboard boxes and shovel pounds of spaghetti into their mouths. Atanes, already Spain’s underground master, really pulls out the stops on this happy mess of madness.

Welcome to Where Everyone Has Gone Before, the weekly column where I continue my film education before your very eyes by seeking out and watching all of the movies I should have seen by now. I will first judge the movie before I've watched it, based entirely on its reputation (and my potentially misguided thoughts). Then I will give the movie a fair chance and actually watch it. You will laugh at me, you may condemn me, but you will never say I didn't try!
The Film: 'Mystery Train' (1989), Dir. Jim Jarmusch
Starring: Youki Kudoh, Masatoshi Nagase, Screamin' Jay Hawkins, Cinque Lee, Nicoletta Braschi, Elizabeth Bracco, Joe Strummer, Rick Aviles, Steve Buscemi, Tom Noonan and the raspy tones of the great Tom Waits.

The Arizona Underground Film Festival wrapped up its 3rd and biggest year ever back on Sept. 25. Over a wild eight days, the fest screened 30 feature films and 50 short films from all over the world, some of them making their world premiere or their U.S. debut. Out of those films, Auff handed out a dozen awards.
Auff gave out awards to both shorts and features in the categories of Best Narrative, Best Horror, Best Documentary. Plus, they gave out awards such as Best Exploitation, Best Experimental, Audience Award, Director’s Choice and more.
Best Experimental went to a film directed nearly 30 years ago that’s just being seen now. That film is Window on Your Present by Cinqué Lee, brother of Spike Lee.
Other big winners are Corey Adams and Alex Craig’s skateboard fantasy Machotaildrop for Best Narrative Feature; Aurelio Voltaire‘s short film Demiurge Emesis for Best Animation...

Tucson and Phoenix: Prepare to be rocked, shocked and defiled. Blasting its way into its third — and biggest — year on Sept. 18-25, the Arizona Underground Film Festival is a cacophonous concoction of angry transsexuals, bumbling hit men, slacker superheroes, living dolls, aliens, dead hookers, adventure-seeking blondes and other crazies.
This year the fest is screening 30 feature films, some of which are making their U.S. and even world debuts. The opening night film is the U.S. premiere of the German hit man comedy Snowman’s Land, directed by Tomasz Thomson,while closing the fest is the controversial and violent A Serbian Film by Srdjan Spasojevic, which you have to be over-18 to get into.
Don’t worry, there’s plenty of homebrewed films as well, such as Dead Hooker in a Trunk by Jen Soska & Sylvia Soska; Nude Nuns With Big Guns by Joseph Guzman; 1,001 Ways to Enjoy the...

“Was that a gun?”
“Probably. This is America.”
Jim Jarmusch’s ‘Mystery Train’ and I have had a tumultuous relationship with one another since it came out in 1989. I saw the film three times and each time I just disliked it to the point of hatred, because I didn’t feel connected with the characters, the film or the director’s vision at all. Fast forward to 2010 and ‘Mystery Train’ has been released onto Blu-ray by The Criterion Collection. And watching this film for the first time in about 7 years, it was as if I was watching this film for the first time in brand new eyes.
‘Mystery Train’ is a wonderful love letter to the city of Memphis, its people and the musical legacy it has given the world. It’s filled with characters that could easily carry one feature length film, but Jarmusch gives us a trilogy of stories within this film,...

Mystery Train Directed by: Jim Jarmusch Written by: Jim Jarmusch Starring: Masatoshi Nagase, Youki Kudoh, Screamin' Jay Hawkins, Joe Strummer, Steve Buscemi, Tom Noonan Everybody has their list of important or great films that for one reason or another they've yet to see. Jim Jarmusch's triptych anthology Mystery Train had eluded me all of these years, but thanks to a fancy Criterion blu ray release, I finally had the chance to check it out. Not unlike Jarmusch's other films, it's a cool, clever and funny piece of classic indie filmmaking that sheds an outsider's light on the cultural significance of Memphis and all of the unusual characters who live there. The film is broken into three separate stories. The first, titled 'Far From Yokohama', finds a young Japanese couple stepping off a train in Memphis with only a red suitcase between them. I had read somewhere that Jarmusch thought...

I'm not much of a fan of Jim Jarmusch's films, but this is only based on the small selection of his films I've seen, most of which are his later pictures while his more celebrated films have eluded me. I haven't seen Stranger Than Paradise, Down by Law or Dead Man, which tells me I haven't really seen the Jarmusch most people think of when his name is mentioned. I have, though, seen his last four films starting with Ghost Dog and ending with last year's The Limits of Control and I haven't been much of a fan of any of them. So, when Mystery Train arrived in my mailbox I felt it would be yet another Jarmusch feature I just wouldn't connect with... I was wrong.
I was gliding along with Criterion's Blu-ray presentation of Jim Jarmusch's Mystery Train. It felt like another Jarmusch feature to me,...

Avatar (20th Century Fox) James Cameron beat his own title as box office champ, set with Titanic over a decade ago, with this eye-popping sci-fi epic about a paraplegic Marine name Sully (Sam Worthington), who takes the form of an “avatar,” or virtual being, to go undercover on the planet Pandora, attempting to infiltrate the native Na’vi to gather intelligence that will aid a joint corporate and military operation to rape the planet of its natural resources, destroying its indigenous population in the process. When Sully suddenly “goes native,” he locks horns with the company CEO (Giovanni Ribisi) and his gung-ho commanding officer (Stephen Lang, in a wonderful, scenery-chewing turn from a long-underrated actor). Thought of by many scholars and film buffs as a “game-changer” as much as the first Star Wars film was—and they may be right. While Cameron’s politically-correct...
