Another memorable documentary film compilation programme from the redoubtable Ilkka Kippola - Jari Sedergren team. The Kurt Jäger entry was an excerpt of a feature film the original version of which had disappeared because the producer Jäger himself chopped it for recycling in new productions. What remains is exciting sound footage of the ancient ways of Karelia. The value of this footage keeps growing. Claes Olsson's film was a reminder of Finland as an occupier and a founder of concentration camps during Operation Barbarossa. Markku Lehmuskallio's film and the Värttinä music video show the modern presence of the Karelian ways in dance and song.
